Dick,
I think that was covered in Rob's original post.
Here is a quote from that link;
"It's absurd, absolutely absurd," said Mal Middlesworth, 90, of Upland, a member of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Assn., who as an 18-year-old Marine watched the attack from the decks of the San Francisco, a heavy cruiser. "Ford Island is one of the most sacred areas of the Pacific Theater. It's a national shrine. I don't understand the Navy."
