Kash Patel may rue the day he chose to go snorkelling at a prohibited mass war grave. News broke last Friday that in summer 2025, Patel went on what’s been billed as a “VIP snorkel” around the wreck of the USS Arizona.
The Arizona was sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, killing 1,177 sailors and Marines. Over a thousand men’s remains still lie on the ocean floor inside the wreck. In the years following the war, it was decided to officially make the wreck a memorial – a sacred monument to those who gave their life for their nation.
