USS Missouri being refloated in Pearl Harbor drydock #4. It took 2 1/2 months to repair her hull, miscellaneous rust, some new hull plates, new$$ dehumidifying system and other issues. For the refloat, 700 people, including VIP's, MMA founders, ship's crew, volunteers, and over 100 military to be reenlisted during the trip out of dry dock and back to our Pearl Harbor pier.
I am very grateful to be allowed to be aboard, and honored to take part in this chapter of the USS Missouri's history. God bless America.

While she is still fully intact and capable of being put back into service with a little work, she hasn't ran under her own power in quite a number of years. What a marvel she is.

What a majestic old lady! I love the Iowa Class Battleships, and I know some may disagree, but I think we need to have such a capable warship commissioned in the USN. A Battleship Strike Group off each coast. Missiles are very effective weapons but those 16”/50 guns are a projection of power unlike any other.

@@patrickwheatley2693 Carriers & Battleships coexisted for quite some time actually. And effectively so. Both being utilized as flag ships for commanders of the various battle/strike groups. If anything made the Battleship veer toward obsolete, it was box launched cruise missiles. Which ironically were installed on the USS New Jersey (BB-62) herself (among several other classes) during the Gulf War.

@@OldStreetDoc the Iowa class ships were brought out of the mothball fleet because the range of their primaries was far enough to inflict a lot of damage on Saddam Hussein's infrastructure. Sure, there were some noteworthy battles involving Battleships after 1941, but if the sinking at Taranto in 1940 wasn't enough proof, the IJN used six Carriers to knock three Battleship divisions out of service in a single day in December of 1941.

The USS Missouri, aka The Mighty MO, is now permanently berthed in Pearl Harbor. Finally, after YEARS of portraying death and destruction to millions of Hawaii visitors, we finally have a battleship in Pearl Harbor that represents the victory of WWII, and a memorial to those people who made that victory possible, our own parents and grandparents.

Unfortunately the Iowa Class Battleships have seen their last active duty service. The Navy won't reactive them again. Back in the 1980's President Reagan was met with some resistance over reactivating the Iowa's from some of the Navy brass. It seems they preferred shinny new warships with all the latest bells and whistles.

I "toured" it like 45years, ago, in Bremerton, WA. We were only allowed to walk through the forecastle(?) and walk around on the main deck. It must have been built for shorter sailors. I'm just 6ft tall and I was ducking all kinds of overhead obstructions. If you weren't paying close attention, you'd be knocking yourself out regularly.

does anyone realize today the quality of workmanship that went into these vessels? The navy should quit wasting $500,000,000.00 on each aluminum littoral combat ship and have used the $$$ to put a modern reactor in place for power. then they could have pulled out the rear 16" guns and loaded in literally hundreds of cruise missles and anti aircraft missles. while still keeping 6 16" guns or even pulling 3 more and loading on several f-35 in that space. nothing in the world today or 20 years from know would have been able to match it and it could have been paid for by sacrificing just 4 of those beer and LCS ships with no armor or real weapons to speak of .

It was cost more to "refit" an Iowa that it would to build a few Arleigh Burkes. What's your obsession with a reactor? Why??? You cant just take out a huge heavy turret and put in a bunch of light missiles. Not possible. The Iowas are sadly where they belong....retired.

@chris younts There is no "lack of armor". An Iowa is a VERY heavily armored Battleship. The only thing they have in common with a battle cruiser is high speed. They aren't remotely comparable otherwise. And yes, Battleships are VERY hard to sink. Look at the ones that got sunk in combat.....took a lot to do it. Even Yamato and Musashi, with zero air cover still took hours to sink. Also remember, the US never lost a Battleship at sea.

Slow? You do realize these ships had an average top speed of 33 knots right? That's about standard for even a modern warship. Large yes, but what is a supercarrier? A target, very much so because battleships still hold a lot of moral value and so if one were destroyed in battle it would be a huge blow to the publicity which helps keep the Navy funded.

She used to be kept ready enough to be activated in 6 months if needed. That was a deal the navy had with the people running the museum on her. Not sure if it's still the same in 2019. She hasn't been moved in quite a long time now. Nevertheless her guns are still pointing towards the final resting place of Arizona and her crew. Always defending her own!

while i do agree with you when it comes to the rule of cool. when it comes to reality i have to disagree, modern DDs will win almost every fight against a WW2 era BB apart from the Iowas because they have some of the same weapons, and defences as modern DDs so they could possibly win. and if we throw out any concern over money then the DD will always win by just spaming out more missiles then the Iowa's could deal with.
