Great visit to the "Mighty Mo"

Since opening in January 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial has attracted more than 9-million visitors from around the world with a fascinating tour experience showcasing the USS Missouri’s unique place in history. Located a mere ship’s length from the USS Arizona Memorial, the Mighty Mo completes a historical visitor experience that begins with the “day of infamy” and sinking of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and ends with Japan’s formal surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. The USS Missouri had an astounding career over five decades and three wars – World War II, the Korean War, and Desert Storm – after which it was decommissioned and donated to the USS Missouri Memorial Association, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Association operates the Battleship Missouri Memorial as a historic attraction and oversees her care and preservation with the support of visitors, memberships, grants, and donations.

Great visit to the "Mighty Mo"
Visited on Friday, Dec. 3rd as part of a bus tour package which limited our time that we could stay. Still, we were able to see most of this Iowa class battleship which included visiting the upper decks and below decks. While there, there was a band playing music in preparation for the 80th anniversary events. The battleship has the designated area where the terms of surrender were signed by Japan. The ship was well preserved, but while touring, you have to be careful walking up and down the steep metal stairs where you can fall or hit your head. Also, it can be windy on the upper decks so make sure your hat is secure. We were there for about 1 1/2 hours, but you can easily spend 2-3 hours if you read all the info. on the displays and exhibits and take a lot of photos. I was impressed with how well preserved the ship was and would recommend a visit during your stay.

USS Missouri….A living History Lesson
A visit to the USS Missouri also known as the Mighty Mo is essential because this is the place where the treaty to surrender from World War II was signed on September 2, 1945. Unlike visiting The USS Arizona a visit to the USS Missouri is not free. The cost for an adult and a child is $56.15. There are guided tours that I highly suggest taking because the guide provides more detailed information regarding the USS Missouri and specifically information on how the treaty was signed to ultimately bring an end to World War II. Upon visiting you will witness an amazing view of the USS Arizona which makes for nice photos. Personal tip please arrive early to have enough time to tour the ship and learn about the history. You must take a bus to and from the Pearl Harbor visitor center and the process takes time. We only had about an hour and 20 minutes due to our late afternoon arrival. However, that time was well spent and so worth the history lesson that we received. Enjoy your historical journey; it is one that will not be easily forgotten.
