The USS Missouri was launched in 1944, and made it through WWII,
the Korean War (1950s), was upgraded and recommissioned in 1984,
saw its last battle launching Tomahawk missles in the Gulf War
(1991), and was finally decommisioned in 1992. The surrender
of Japan ending WWII was done on the Mighty Mo with MacArthur
and Nimitz (supreme and fleet commanders of the Allied Forces)
and the highest ranking officials of all major countries
involved on board for that momentous occasion. |
