The rangefinder has been removed from the platform, as have the searchlights from the 36-inch searchlight platform above it. The mainmast was removed from the Arizona’s wreckage on 23 August 1942 and scrapped. At the height of the war, little thought was given to artifacts or the Arizona’s significance as a national shrine. Artwork by Jim Caiella,former Senior Editor of Proceedings magazine.

Of decidedly blue-blood background, Jiggs nee King Bulwark, was whelped in Philadelphia on 22 May 1922. Upon his enlistment in the Corps on 14 October 1922, he outranked the Commandant. Brigadier General Smedley Butler, who signed the enlistment papers "for life", sensibly demoted the King to private and preserved the chain of command. Jiggs moved up rapidly in the ranks. He was a corporal for two and a half weeks after the induction and a sergeant by New Year's Day 1924. That June he was promoted to sergeant major. Jiggs died before his time on 9 January 1927. He lay in state in a Quantico hangar, flanked by two Marine guards and banks of flowers. His passing was mourned throughout the Corps.
