Every time the Arizona is mentioned I am reminded of the Magnum P.I. episode where
a Supreme Court (of the USA,not Hawaii) nominee played by Jose Ferrer turns out to
really be a Navy deserter who pretended to have died on the Arizona and took a new
identity.

How plausible is it that a background check would miss that,whether now or back in
the 1980s?

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

I get flashbacks to the NCIS episode where Christopher Lloyd
portrays an old (well, duhh..) and dying sailor who claims
he was on the Arizona (although the records say otherwise)
and wants to be interred there when he dies.

spoiler: After he's dead the NCIS team confirms he
was on board, and yes, his body is brought there.
