The USS Missouri (BB-63) is one of the most famous battleships in U.S. naval history. Commissioned in 1944 during World War II, the Missouri earned a place in history as the site of Japan's formal surrender on September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Bay, marking the end of the war. This "Mighty Mo," as it was affectionately called, saw extensive service during WWII, the Korean War, and the Gulf War, playing a key role in naval combat and showcasing American military might. With its 16-inch guns, the Missouri became a symbol of strength and resilience. After decommissioning in 1992, it was preserved as a museum ship in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where it now stands as a memorial to the men and women who served aboard.
