The USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor// Madhee Moseman// P6

The USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, will be closed to visitors until at least June 4 after a dock to the memorial that sits atop the sunken battleship was damaged in an accident Wednesday, the National Park Service says. The damage occurred when tugboats were "assisting" the USNS Mercy, an 894-foot-long, 69,000-ton hospital ship, inside the harbor, the U.S. Navy Region Hawaii said in a statement on its Facebook page. "Initial visual assessments show that the dock was moved about 10 feet toward the Memorial. A small area of concrete was damaged where the dock's ramp joined the Memorial. The dock's ramps and railings were also damaged," the statement said.

"It is not safe for visitors to disembark at the USS Arizona Memorial," said the National Park Service, which administers the memorial, part of the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.
