I am not sure if any of you know this but the first ship sunk at Pearl Harbor, The Oklahoma, is the last to get a memorial. It was finalized this year in Pearl, and dedicated yesterday. It was placed at the spot where many survivors of the Oklahoma came ashore after she capsized, it has 429 white standards each with one of the sailors or Marine's names on it.
Here is a link to videos of the ceremony and videos of the veterans, be sure to check out the rest of the site it has really good interviews and stories.
On the link page the U.S.S. Oklahoma video section is the top left one, and then it takes you to a big section of videos.
