Bitevní loď třídy Pennsylvania, za první světové války označovaná jako tzv. superdreadnought. Její stavba probíhala v loděnicích New York, kde byla spuštěna na vodu v červnu 1916. Krátce po dokončení byla loď v letech 1918-1919 modernizována, opětovně prošla rekonstrukcí v letech 1928-1931.
Od února 1941 byla součástí Tichomořského loďstva jako vlajková loď 1. divize bitevních lodí v rámci Bitevního svazu, v prosinci 1941 byl jejím velitelem námořní kapitán Franklin Van Valkenberg.
Během japonského útoku na Pearl Harbor zasáhlo loď osm bomb a tři torpéda, jedna z bomb pronikla do skladiště střeliva, jehož exploze fakticky odtrhla lodní příď. Další zásahy přispěly k tak rychlému potopení lodi, že se ani nestačila převrátit. Na lodi zahynulo přes 1 100 námořníků, včetně velitele lodi a velitele 1. divize bitevních lodí, kontradmirála Isaaka Kida. Trosky lodi byly ponechány na místě potopení a staly se základem dnešního památníku.
