Another fact about the USS Arizona is when she blew up she wiped out gun crews on nearby ships,killed sailors with concussion and shrapnel,stalled Army and Navy trucks,jarred base homes and probably rupture the hull of the Vestal(a repair ship) that was moored along side.
Not only did the explosion kill 1,102 of Arizona's crew but,it took others with them.
By checking data and after battle reports they believe a total of 1,222 sailors died from the explosion including the 1,102 entomb in the Arizona.
