Pvt. Hope died on the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor.
The USS Arizona is the final resting place for many of the ship's 1,177 crewmen who lost their lives on December 7, 1941 in Pearl Harbor. The 184-foot-long Memorial structure spanning the mid-portion of the sunken battleship consists of three main sections: the entry and assembly rooms; a central area designed for ceremonies and general observation; and the shrine room, where the names of those killed on the Arizona are engraved on the marble wall.
The Arizona was the most heavily damaged of all the vessels in Battleship Row, suffering three near-misses and four direct-hits from 800-kg bombs dropped by high-altitude Kates. The last bomb to strike her penetrated her deck starboard of turret two and detonated within a 14-inch powder magazine. The resulting massive explosion broke the ship in two forward of turret one, collapsed her forecastle decks, and created such a cavity that her forward turrets and conning tower fell thirty feet into her hull.

Harold Hope, 19, grandson of W. R. Hope and nephew of Mrs. George Outlaw of Sweetwater and son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hope of Borger, has been reported "missing" from the U.S.S. Arizona, bombed and sunk at Pearl Harbor in a direct hit by the Japanese on Sunday, Dec. 7.
The youth had graduated from Borger High School and attended Texas Tech for two years, enlisting in the U.S. Marines in June. He had been stationed at San Diego, receiving orders in September to sail to the far east. He was a Marine guard.
