Around 1950, two memorials were placed at the wreck dedicated to the men in the ship's crew who were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The first is a plaque on the wharf to the north of the ship, and the second is a plaque that was placed on the ship itself.
In 1972, a larger memorial was erected just off Ford Island, near the sunken wreck, and is now part of Pearl Harbor National Memorial.
The memorial consists of a 70-foot (21 m) walkway made of white concrete, which extends from Ford Island out to a 40 by 15 ft (12.2 by 4.6 m) platform in front of the ship, where a brass plaque and a flagpole are located.
The memorial is on the northwest side of Ford Island and is accessible only to individuals with military identification.
A color guard stands watch over the wreck.
On 9 July 1988, Utah and Arizona, the other remaining wreck in the harbor, were nominated to be added to the National Historic Landmark registry.
Both wrecks were added to the list on 5 May 1989.
As of 2008, seven former crewmen who were aboard Utah at the time of her sinking have been cremated and had their ashes interred in the wreck.

Relics from the ship are also preserved in the Utah State Capitol building; among the items on display are pieces from the ship's silver service and the captain's clock.
The ship's bell was on display at the University of Utah near the entrance of the Naval Science Building from the 1960s until 2016, when it was loaned to the Naval War College.
It was then sent to the Naval History and Heritage Command in Richmond, Virginia for conservation work.
With the bell restored, it was returned to the University of Utah on 7 December 2017 and is currently on display inside the Naval Science Building.
