The U.S. Navy battleship line attacked at Pearl Harbor was known as Battleship Row.
Battleship Row lay along the southeastern shore of Ford Island, close to the main channel of Pearl Harbor. Several major American battleships were moored there on the morning of December 7, 1941, making the area a central target for Japanese torpedo bombers and high-level bombers.
The ships included Arizona, Oklahoma, West Virginia, California, Nevada, Tennessee, and Maryland. The exact arrangement mattered because ships tied together had limited room to maneuver, while nearby harbor waters restricted movement. Arizona and Oklahoma suffered catastrophic damage, while other ships were sunk or damaged and later repaired.
The name describes a location rather than a single vessel or formal naval unit. Visitors sometimes use it as a synonym for all of Pearl Harbor, but Battleship Row was specifically the battleship berthing area beside Ford Island. The USS Arizona Memorial is located above Arizona’s wreck near this historic site.
