I am pretty sure they still provide the paper. Navy can't take all the credit for the visitor center, that is run by the US Parks Service. Navy does run the boats and looks over the USS Arizona itself. The Navy did build a nice memorial on the other side of Ford Island, where the USS Iowa still rest, plus they allowed a new private donation Air Museum on Ford Island.
