Take a rare tour of the freshly renovated Battleship Missouri, the last battleship ever built! This is the location where Japan officially surrendered to the United States, therefore ending World War II. This ship, though, has a considerably longer narrative to tell, having served in three wars. Stand on the Surrender Deck, the official location of World War II’s conclusion, and look for the deadly spot where a Japanese kamikaze pilot flew into the ship’s hull. Mighty Mo served with distinction in World War II, the Korean War, and the Gulf War. Step back in time aboard the Battleship Missouri, an American symbol and hero. The Battleship Missouri tour includes a view at the Surrender Deck as well as the spot where a Japanese kamikaze pilot flew his plane into the Missouri’s hull. Her bow faces the USS Arizona Memorial and guards the graves of the troops who died in the Pearl Harbor attack. The Battleship Missouri, which was commissioned in 1944, symbolized the surrender of the Japanese Empire and the conclusion of World War II. The Missouri was in combat during the Korean War and the Gulf War before being decommissioned and stationed at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Washington State in 1992. In 1999, she was hauled to Honolulu and established as a floating museum. In the beginning of 2010, the Battleship Missouri received a $18 million refurbishment. Even if you aren’t a history buff or a member of a military family, the Battleship Missouri Memorial is an intriguing warship that is constantly ranked among Hawaii’s most-visited landmarks!
