Luvmypets, thank you.
For such a big ship on the outside, its crammed full of the things needed to be a battleship on the inside.
A small city's worth of people.
And aircraft carriers are even more so.
After touring one of these, you can see the effort and learning curve of the designers and builders, amazing!

I visited the Arizona and Missouri in 2007 and used a Nikon D200 with a 18-200 zoom. That combo worked well for the trip. I had a battery grip on the camera as well. I believe the dimensions are similar to the Z you want to take.
Yes the spaces are tight and I had to be careful to ensure I didn't didn't bump my camera into stuff. It is a very somber, educational, and emotional tour.

Some images of the USS New Jersey, taken with a D600, and the Nikkor 8-15mm Fisheye.
Exterior at 8mm and 15mm.
Interior picture of the conning and firing rooms.
Even allowing for the distortion, interesting images.
The tour included the center turret and barbet, but there was no location to get an image without other participants.

Just a reminder, since no one else has mentioned it. A visit to actually get on the Memorial must be made through the U.S. Navy. Everyone else can bring you out to the Memorial; however, since the Navy still considers the ship as "on duty" everyone else must maintain a specific distance away from the Memorial.

There is also a Navy bus to get to Ford Island, to visit the USS Missouri, and the Pacific Aviation Museum.
Tickets, and boarding are scheduled at the Pearl Harbor entry point.

I’m confused. The Memorial is the USS Arizona at Pearl.

I was there a couple years ago with a D750 equipped with a 70-200 lens and had no issues or problems. Nobody paid any attention to my photo gear.

The USS Missouri, is moored facing the remains of the USS Arizona, and the bridge monument to the crew.
The Arizona Memorial is accessed only by boat.
Ford Island is accessed only by bus. Private autos are not only to cross the bridge to Ford Island.
The only access to BB-63 is from Ford Island. The Pacific Aviation Museum is in the Hangers that were attacked in 1941, also on the island.
