National Park Service and Autodesk Carry Out First Comprehensive Digital Survey to Preserve the USS Arizona and Memorial

Public Company Information: NASDAQ: ADSK Honolulu – (BUSINESS WIRE) – To honor U.S. military veterans, the National Park Service (NPS) and Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) held a press conference today to showcase early findings from the first comprehensive survey of the USS Arizona and its Memorial in three decades, along with the resulting 3D models. Reflecting Autodesk's vision to empower people to imagine, design, and create a better world, this survey leverages the latest technology to aid both historic preservation and public education. Set to be completed later this year, the survey will offer the public a more detailed perspective of this historic site while contributing to the ongoing preservation of the ship. During today’s Memorial Day press conference, a 3D printed replica of the USS Arizona was displayed, revealing details never before seen in print. Additionally, highly detailed 3D models of a cooking pot and a Coke bottle, which have been resting in the ship’s galley for the past 72 years, were also crafted and showcased. These models included intricate features like color and the barnacles now covering the cooking pot. By year-end, Autodesk and NPS aim to produce a complete 3D model of the USS Arizona. “This technological approach brings the legacy of the USS Arizona to life in ways that weren’t possible before,” said National Park Service Superintendent Paul DePrey. “The USS Arizona is one of America’s most cherished historical sites. As stewards of this site, the National Park Service is committed to sharing the story of December 7th with both current and future generations. Creating 3D models enables people to see and touch these incredibly detailed and accurate replicas, which will play a key role in our educational outreach efforts.” Among those present at the press conference was 92-year-old USS Arizona survivor Don Stratton, one of only nine remaining USS Arizona survivors still alive and among the few hundred who managed to escape the ship. Stratton was just 19 when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Along with six other crew members, he clung to a heaving line and crossed the burning deck to safety aboard the USS Vestal, moored next to the USS Arizona that fateful morning. Stratton sustained burns over 70% of his body. When shown the 3D print of the cooking pot for the first time, Stratton remarked, “That is incredible. I don’t know anyone from the galley who survived that day. At the time of the explosion, it was about survival. Afterward, it was very difficult to come back. Now, when I reflect on those times, it feels a bit easier. I truly believe these 3D artifacts will leave a lasting impression on many people.” Stratton’s son, Randy Stratton, who was also present, noted, “These artifacts cannot be replicated. They symbolize the start of the war, the end of the war, and the enduring presence of life on the USS Arizona.” Concluding, Don Stratton expressed his hopes, saying, “I wish they remember all the shipmates who remain aboard the Arizona. And I hope they remember everyone who sacrificed their lives for this great nation.” Approximately 900 of the 1,777 officers, sailors, and Marines killed still rest within the USS Arizona; hence, any work conducted on the ship must be carried out with utmost care and respect. Keeping this in mind, the NPS is leading the initiative to create an extremely precise, 3D digital representation while ensuring minimal disturbance to the vessel. The NPS is utilizing Autodesk’s reality computing technology, underwater photogrammetry, subsea LiDAR, high-resolution SONAR, and above-water laser scanning to conduct investigations and analyses without disturbing the ship. “The USS Arizona Memorial is such an important yet delicate piece of history,” said Brian Mathews, vice president at Autodesk. “Reality Computing is an emerging concept that bridges the physical and digital worlds, and we at Autodesk see significant potential in supporting the National Park Service and conservators worldwide with this technology to capture, analyze, and communicate the stories of our past for future generations.” Other organizations involved in the survey include: HDR, Sam Hirota, Inc., Oceanic Imaging Consultants, Inc., 3DatDepth, Shark Marine Technologies, Inc., the United States Coast Guard, and the US Navy Mobile Diving Salvage Unit One. About World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument: As one of nearly 400 units in the National Park Service, the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument preserves and interprets the stories of the Pacific War, including events at Pearl Harbor, the internment of Japanese Americans, the battles in the Aleutians, and the occupation of Japan. This year, over 1.7 million individuals will visit the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, making it the most visited tourist destination in Hawaii. For more information, visit www.nps.gov/valr.
