Is it "Nimitzs" or "Nimitzi"?

The top of the picture shows Missouri next to her dock at Ford Island. I don't know why your photo has a green tint. It didn't have one when I looked at it on "Google earth".

The photo of Norfolk shows Nimitz, George Washington , and a third Nimitz undergoing refit.

Status: offline 		Let me put it this way. After the bombing, the USS Arizona had much of the superstructure / turrets above the water line cut away. If I recall correctly, these and additional pieces of the wreckage  that were removed from the ship during the construction of the memorial were transported to a spot on Ford Island, where they still sit rusting to this day. Was just asking if anyone has found these artifacts by searching with Google Earth. I have tried and could not find it. Sorry if I did not make myself clear the first time, it was late when I wrote the above.
