	Battleships USS Utah BB-31
		Utah (Battleship No. 31) was laid down on 9 March 1909 at Camden, N.J., by the New York Shipbuilding Co.; launched on 23 December 1909; sponsored by Miss Mary Alice Spry, daughter of Governor William Spry of Utah, and commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 31 August 1911, Capt. William S. Benson in command.
		Utah spent subsequent summers of 1926 and 1926 with the Midshipman Practice Squadron and, after disembarking her midshipmen at the conclusion of the 1926 cruise, entered the Boston Navy Yard and was decommissioned on 31 October 1926 for modernization.
		Utah departed Norfolk on 7 April to train her engineers in using the new installations and for trials of her radio gear by which the ship could be controlled at varying rates of speed and changes of course— maneuvers that a ship would conduct in battle.

	USS UTAH AT PEARL HARBOR: Her Sinking and Memorial
		The UTAH was a former battleship (Ex-BB 31) and given both her size - one of the next biggest ships next to those of Battleship Row present that day - and the fact that her wreck is one of only two still at the battle site, this neglect is somewhat surprising.
		UTAH is seen on 13 February 1944 in a 68 degree position, which approximates the angle she obtained when the mooring cables snapped on December 7 and she tumbled over.
		The USS UTAH at the turn of the century is in an advanced stage of decay, and the ravages of the years are plainly visible when compared to the author's photographs of summer 1976.

	USS ARIZONA MEMORIAL: Submerged Cultural Resources Study (Chapter 3)
		The USS UTAH (BB31) is located on the opposite side of Ford Island from the ARIZONA.
		The UTAH rolled to port and capsized at its berth after being hit early in the attack, turning 165 degrees from upright, an ironic happening, because the ship with its modern antiaircraft weapons was probably the most able to defend itself from air attack had it not capsized.
		The USS Utah Memorial commemorating the loss of ship and men is a 40-by-15-foot concrete platform connected to the northwest shore of Ford Island by a 70-foot walkway.

		These plaques were subsequently overshadowed by the far more visible and accessible USS Arizona Memorial, and in 1972 a larger memorial to Utah was dedicated just off the Ford Island shoreline, a short distance from where the ship lies.

		Utah's alteration from battleship to auxiliary ship (target and gunnery training) because of conditions dictated by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 was part of a disarmament program with a considerable impact on the U.S. Navy, as well as many other nations' navies.
