Germano V and Gjesfjeld CC. 2020. Ford Island CPO Bungalows Neighborhood and Battleship Row: Cultural Landscapes Inventory, Pearl Harbor National Memorial.

The Cultural Landscape Inventory (CLI) report for the Ford Island CPO Bungalows Neighborhood and Battleship Row cultural landscape includes Chief Petty Officer’s (CPO) bungalows 28, 29, 31, 32, 68, 90, the USS Oklahoma Memorial, three sets of mooring quays that constituted part of Battleship Row (F6S, F6N, F7S, F7N, F8S, and F8N), USS Arizona, and the USS Arizona Memorial. The Ford Island Chief Petty Officer’s bungalows and USS Oklahoma Memorial are located along the southeast shore of Ford Island, while the mooring quays and USS Arizona and USS Arizona Memorial are located offshore within the East Loch of Pearl Harbor. The cultural landscape is part of Pearl Harbor National Memorial and is located within the boundaries of the US Naval Base Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark District. The landscape conveys the significance of the early development of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base on December 7, 1941, World War II, and early Cold War development. During the 1941 attack, Battleship Row became the central target of bombing, and the CPO neighborhood, being closest in proximity to Battleship Row on Ford Island, also sustained damage and sheltered people during the attack. During World War II, ships from Battleship Row were righted and those that could be repaired were, while the CPO Bungalows Neighborhood served as housing. After the war, additional bungalows were moved to the CPO Bungalow Neighborhood, war-era buildings were torn down, and Battleship Row continued to moor naval vessels. The rich history that has defined and shaped the site is displayed through a number of buildings, structures, and small-scale features associated with the development of the site, including the five remaining historic CPO bungalows, six mooring quays, USS Arizona, USS Arizona Memorial, concrete foundations, Belleau Woods Loop road, clotheslines, mature trees, foundation plantings, and lawn. This CLI report provides documentation and analysis of the significant features of this landscape.
