The USS Arizona is live tweeting the attack on Pearl Harbor, commemorating the 75th anniversary of an attack that killed over 2,000 Americans.
The Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, drawing the U.S. into the Second World War.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona was sunk, killing around 1,100 American servicemen.
The USS Arizona is still buried in the harbor.
