Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/USS Arizona sinking

 
Original - USS Arizona (BB-39) afire and sinking during the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
Reason
Companion nomination to the USS Arizona survivor image: the highest resolution image I could find of the disaster (12 megs, scanned at 1000dpi) restored from Image:USS Arizona sinking 2.jpg with scratches, fibers, stains, and other artifacts removed. Histogram adjusted. Today this sunken ship remains visible a few feet beneath the surface and is the most solemn part of the Pearl Harbor museum complex.
