Honolulu - Pearl Harbor

Pearl Harbor is one of the best harbors in the Pacific and is the center of operation of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet. Since the area is flat, those traveling the freeway which skirts the base often see the ships towering over the forests of palms and other tropical plants. Perhaps the best way of gaining a perspective on Pearl Harbor is by sitting at a window on the right side of an airliner approaching Honolulu International.

Attractions open to the public in the harbor include the Arizona Memorial, the Battleship Missouri and the Submarine Bowfin.
