Default USS Arizona and oil leaking
YouTube - Oil still oozing from mighty USS ARIZONA

USS Arizona contains an estimated 500,000 gallons (2,300 tons) of Bunker C fuel oil, which has been slowly escaping since its loss.

USS Arizona and NPS FAQ

The oil seeping is sometimes referred to as "the tears of the Arizona" or "black tears."
