The oldest remaining survivor from the USS Arizona, one of the American battleships lost in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, has died in Roswell, N.M.

John Anderson was 98.

He died Saturday at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center surrounded by family members and, according to one of his sons, was "fully cognizant and a fighter to the end."
