USS MISSOURI




Happy Easter everyone! My Mom is here in Hawaii with me and we went to visit the USS Missouri, USS Arizona Memorial and a tour of Pearl Harbor. The Arizona Memorial is UNREAL, it literally sits on top of the sunken ship from Dec 7th, 1941. The USS Missouri was awesome, here are some facts:

Nickname: Mighty Mo
Launched: January 24, 1944
Length: 3 Football Fields
Takes 2700 men to operate
Was the last battleship to be built by the U.S.
Site of surrender of the Empire of Japan which ended WWII

I have attached a video and some pics...enjoy!
