Seaman Noel Chapman one of the survivors from the USS Arizona who recently passed away, will have his urn of ashes placed in Gun Turret 4 on the Arizona and join his shipmates who died when the Battleship went down. One of those shipmates was his brother. They were one of 37 sets of brothers assigned to the Arizona. For those that dont know, Survivors from the USS Arizona may be return to the Ship they so loved and be with their shipmates. Also the USS Arizona still flys Ole Glory tall and proud along with oil that still leaks from her hull from the day it was sunk.
Also joining his fellow shipmates will be a Sailor Thomas C. Molay who was placed within the USS Utah.
Rest in Peace Sailors Chapman and Molay.
