As I understood it there was a fair amount of debate in the Navy and War Departments as to whether the sunken ships that had a fair amount of lost life should be removed. The location of the Oklahoma made it difficult to perform certain fleet operations so the decision was made to completely remove it. At first removal of the Arizona's super structure was to be the first step in completely removing the bodies and wreckage of that ship but the priority of getting the Oklahoma removed put the process of doing the same to the Arizona off far enough to allow for the Arizona to stay with minimal further disturbance. Attempts were made to upright the Utah in the first step to remove it but conditions would not allow it. As with the Arizona once the removal process became a priority the end of the war was close at hand so the decision was easy in terms of just letting the Utah go with minimal further disruption. The efforts of removing the Oklahoma spared the other ships from undergoing the same process.
