I remember Oklahoma had to be broken up because she blocked part of the harbor, but do they still have any of her wreckage on site for viewing?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Don't think so, she sunk while being taken back to the West Coast to be scrapped.

Her guns and the Arizona's were taken off to make Coast Defense batteries but don't know if any of them are still around.

There is some of Arizona's upperworks stored somewhere either on Ford Island or some other part of the harbor (behind the memorial I think) but it is not accessable to the public.
