The Oklahoma never sailed again under her own power, but she was raised and floated again. She was deemed to be beyond repair and was being towed back to the mainland for scrapping when she broke her tow line and sank. Somehow, sitting at the bottom of the Pacific seems like a more fitting end for the old girl than being cut up for scrap...The USS Oklahoma never sailed again but it anchor is here in OKC. Nice memorial to Pearl Harbor and the Oklahoma.
