The former battleship sunk and permanently grounded at Pearl Harbor was USS Utah. By 1941, Utah had been converted into a target and training ship rather than serving as an active battleship.
Japanese aircraft torpedoed Utah during the opening attack. The ship rolled onto its side and sank near Ford Island, where its wreck remains. Fifty-eight officers and sailors died in the attack on Utah.
Utah is frequently confused with the active battleships damaged at Pearl Harbor, especially USS Nevada, USS Tennessee, and USS West Virginia. Unlike those ships, Utah was not later refloated and returned to combat service.
The wreck is treated as a war grave. Although it is less famous than USS Arizona, Utah is one of the significant surviving physical reminders of the attack and is visible from parts of Ford Island.
