Yes, from the Arizona.
To this day, the fuel from Arizona's tanks is coming to the surface, drop by drop. You can actually see the sheen from the oil on the water surface.
The memorial is literally erected above the Arizona. To realize you're standing above the last resting place of over 1,000 people is a feeling I cannot describe.
Unfortunately, the memorial is closed indefinitely because it has been declared structurally unsafe. I think they're working on repairs with an indefinite reopening date.
