HONOLULU — The USS Arizona Memorial welcomed large numbers of visitors to its reopening after 15 months of repairs, officials said.
"We had to rebuild the system from scratch and do it safely so people can now access it," said Steve Mietz, acting superintendent for the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. Visitor traffic to the national park decreased by about 30% after the memorial's closure. U.S. Rep. Ed Case worked with Hawaii's congressional delegation to speed the project, he said.
