Meet The Missouri! Tier 7 US Battleship (World of Warships Legends Xbox Series X )4k 

Illinois and Kentucky were never finished, but were canceled in 45 and also 58 when the project was revisited. Fun fact she was never commissioned so never received her prefix (USS) .

The Missouri, the one battleship that destroyed a giant alien warships. Reference from Battleship the movie

If you look on Missouri's deck you can see the Japan surrender gold plaque

I like how Spartan is just calmly giving us a bit of history on the Missouri while he’s killing everyone on the opposing team.

“The ship is on fire” I wish they had a ribbon for how often you get set on fire in this game it’s ridiculous…

I wish I could still ask my grandpa about all of this history. He used to serve on the Missouri, but he sadly passed a few years back. Thanks for the amazing history lesson and display of this ship.

The Missouri supported my great grandfather at Okinawa!

4:18 The last battleship of thw Iowa class Was the Kentucky, but the shop you forget the name was the Illinois Iowa, N. Jersey, Missouri, Winscousin, Illinois & Kentucky Those 6 BBs was the Iowa class

I remember in the mid 70's visiting the "Mighty Mo" in Bremerton, WA. when she was mothballed. She was berthed next to the carrier Oriskany. I have some pictures of her and the Oriskany beside each other. Both of these ships are immense in size, the main batteries of Missouri, anchor chain and the shells carried were impressive. The spot of the signing of the end of hostilities between Japan and the U.S. I also have a picture of, to the right of second main battery turret.

USS Missouri also took part in regular coastal bombardments in the Korean war along with the help of cruiser Helena diverted attention away from the Incheon landings, making way for the Eighth Army offensive. She was also the last battleship to take part in combat, during the Gulf War she fired her main batteries more than 750 times and launched 28 tomahawk missles!

This ship is the one that I have wanted since this game came out. one of the most famous Ships in history.

I was fortunate to serve in the Navy when both the Iowa and Wisconsin were stationed in Norfolk, VA. We actually sailed to the Med with Iowa in our battle group in '89 (after the turret incident).They are very impressive in person.

To comment about the Kamikaze damage on the ship, you are correct. On board they have a display talking about the incident and showing the famous picture of the plane about to hit. At the impact point, if you look at the side of the ship from the deck you can see the upper lip of the waterway is dented in for a good 20-30 feet. From the water, you can see the side plating dented in closer to the waterline in the same area. This damage was superficial and never deemed worthy of repair so she still wears the marks. The Kamikaze pilots body was found in the wreckage, the Missouri's crew gave him a proper military burial at sea.

YES! You have it at last! So happy for you Spartan! Awoo! Awoo! Awoo! And to quote a movie that features this ship: Let's drop some lead on this mother-FIRE!

The 6th Iowa class battleship was to be the USS Illinois

USS Iowa is available for visitation in Los Angeles near the Longshore marina. Not San Fran Spartan.

Hawaii at the time of Pearl harbour wasn’t a state (became a state in the 50s) but it still was “American soil” since it was a territory

I’d love to see more in-depth story’s for historical ships. Spartan can explain history without making it boring.

Fun fact the Iowa suffered damaged to the front of the ship. And when it was repaired. The repairs made it a few feet longer. So it is actually the largest battleship the US ever built.... and now you know lol

Fun fact: the Missouri in wow PC is nicknamed the trump wagon because it makes more silver than any other ship. that ship doesn’t make money it freaking prints the money.

Mighty MO is finally here 💪 The Iowa is in Los Angeles if I remember correctly

AWSOME video! Love the history! Cheers

I would love nothing more in this world than to go tour any of the Iowa class battleships but specifically Missouri because of the fact that ww2 technically ended aboard that ship, and I enjoy nothing more than studying about WW2. Unfortunately I live in Minnesota and we don't go very far very often 😫😫😫😫

I've toured and walked around USS Texas, which gives scale for how big these steel behemoths were.

Both Illinois and Kentucky, Were Used for material to Repair the Iowa class ships including Missouri.

The best symbol of the battleship USS Missouri's deck is where it was signed for surrender of Japan in 1945.

Good ol Mighty Mo. Kicking alien ass since 2012

My bucket list is to visit each of the USN museum ships at least once.

USS Iowa is in San Pedro, CA in LA county just outside of the city of Los Angeles

Visited the Iowa museum today in Los Angeles, it was amazing the true size of the ship!

Great video information and game play

Great Vid Spartan! Been waiting to see this beauty for a while. The small circular plaque on the starboard side of the deck next to B turret is where the surrender was signed. Eventually I will get the Missouri but it isn’t a priority. She looks amazing but Ive got plenty of American BB’s to keep me occupied.

That is why i have a spare controller whenever i play, to do things like that

The collision happened in 1956 with uss eaton DD/DDE-510

My uncle served upon the USS New Jersey and now he’s living good until this year when he was diagnosed with cancer

I’ve visited the Alabama in well..Alabama and the ship is stupid massive. I want to see those guns fire one last time

Iowa is in Los Angeles. Missouri is one of the most fun tours

Some encounters with Iowa-class was when IJN Katori got vibe-checked by USS Iowa

I just started playing a few weeks ago and have been grinding American battleships because I really want Iowa (and Yamato eventually). I'm about 1/4 the way through New York so, a long ways to go.

Hawaii was a territory on 12/7/41. Considering my rate of Steel acquation, I really don't have to worry about it.

Good info… Thanks for sharing!

Interesting fact. All 4 Iowa's and all 4 South Dakota's could be returned to active service if America called them! "Museum ship" is just a ruse. The US Navy only agreed to their museum status on the stipulation that they could be reactivated if the country needed them.

Really enjoyed this one Spartan! 👍👍

Finally someone got a RU-vid video on this thing!

I’ve been on the Missouri, there is still a dent on the side of the ship where that Kamikaze hit her.

Im so glad such a wonderful ship was named after my home state

Missouri has slightly less health but slightly more armor at the torpedo bulge and significantly more at the fore and aft citadel armor.

Maybe in 20 years when I get the steel saved up.

You should come take a tour of USS Texas when it done from drydock and I believe the Iowa was the last Iowa battleship to become a museum ship

They shot the pilot before he hit the ship. Caused him to release his bomb in the ocean. But there is a big dent in the side of the ship where the plane hit it

Iowa is in San Pedro ...just visited her a month ago

Just visited the Alabama and was awestruck!! Will be doing as many as I can...

Great info Spartan 👏👏👏👏

I love this ship, iv been to Hawaii from the UK to go and see it. There is a circular plaque on the right hand side of the ship that is the location the table was set up to sign the surrender.

special feature of missouri that radar he didnt even bother to use but nice game and thx fot the history

The Kamikaze pilot that hit the Missouri’s belt was also given a full military burial with all honours etc. His body was found on the deck and the captain of Missouri at the time felt the pilot with devoted to his orders and deserved honour

Fun fact, the Iowa has damage from WW2 still visible. She has a large dent in the port side of turret two from a 6 inch Japanese shore battery.

Fun fact the USS Missouri stared in the movie Battleship

BB with radar. Now that’s aggressive

The side armor of the Missouri is better than the Iowa 38 vs 25 as well as the armor on top of the citadel.

OMFG he got it 😅

How is the credit earning potential? One of the things that made the Missouri so great on the OC version was is it PRINTED money. I had matches where it would earn a million silver. When the Missouri came out on the PC Wargaming had a deal with Steven Seagal. You got him as a captain complete with voice over and he was named after his character in Under Siege. In port he would walk around the exterior of the ship and do various things. I used to make Steven Seagal fat jokes all the time and say the easiest way to find him when the ship was in port was to see which way the ship was listing.

Iowa in San Diego, it says LA but it’s next to Midway in SD

No sense grinding steel if you dont buy it, id buy it just cause it would go with my other US ships. Im glad to finally see a video on it. I am only sitting at 2200 steel so its gonna be some time. I dont really care that much to be honest. Ill keep playing the game but im done spending cash on it. Wargaming is starting to get outta hand.

If every Iowa class battleship would get a radar because they had that in WW2, then you would also have to give that to the bismarck-class battleships and to the hipper-class heavy cruisers in this game (and probably to a lot of other ships too).

Very nice man!

plus the pc version came out with Steven segal walking the desks and it cost one million gb xb

something about the radar there are many ships that had radar in ww2 but they dont in the game so its something seeing some battleships have it .

Awesome Missouri is such a ship of huge magnificence she is mostly a collectership but being the only BB with radar is a nice perk tho just a gimmick

Im guessing after all the games i have played and seen Iowa’s on full reverse and Max range most people would not have the skill cap to use this ships full potential. Play this ship allot on the pc version and the radar does come in handy. One can easily chase a dd out of a cap. Sometimes just the threat of the radar is enough without even using it. In my xperience its a good ship for aggressive moves, one just have to be able to plan 4 steps ahead at all times and it will be fine. Cant wait to Get this ship on console aswell💪

Did you forget it also carried chief petty officer Casey Ryback 😀

The first time i saw a battleship was the Missouri in Under Siege with Steven Seagal.

The Massachusetts is in Fall River MA too can’t forget about that beautiful baby

Considering they added missouri it's only a matter of time before they add the New Jersey

USS Missouri is located at the point USS Oklahoma was moored before she sunk, it's a nice honour to her and her crew.

BTW USS Iowa is in Longbeach California

I think the Littorio class BB's are very good looking.

1 Yamato vs Iowa and Missouri together wonder how that battle would’ve ever looked

hey who knows since they letting them test it there going to re work steel or montana going to pop soon who knows but glad to see them using it in legends

It’s about time we got a review on this girl the long wait is finnaly over

Gg Spartan. Not sure what to think about this ship. The radar is ok but I agree with you that it should go out further, maybe 12 kms. Let the Russian ships be different. I wish there were more consumables for it and the rest of the US bb line. I think at t7 there should be 4 x consumables and some unique to their country. I think 30k is ridiculous for the ship considering how long it takes to grind for steel. I'm now at 25k and I was keen to get the ship but now after all the hard work to grind for steel, I think I might hold out since I already have Iowa. I heard on pc the ship origanally came with a captain, it was Steven Segal and he use to walk around the deck of the ship. This was a reference to the move under siege. Pitty he's not included in legends it would have been cool.

btw, Hawaii was not a State at the beginning of WW2 - Became a state on August 21, 1959. It was however a Territory: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii

Well, it'll take me 30 seasons lmao, but HERE I COME!!! Lol

In an action new jersey along with iowa sunk the katori

I get what you're saying about the US banding together for the first time since, well, the revolutionary war really because of the attack on Pearl Harbor. But, I also feel like I should point out that Hawai'i was not a US state in 1941. The naval and army installations on Oahu I believe were counted as American soil because of much the same reasons as to why the US were present in places such as the Philippines and Guam...

Fun fact that Wisconsin is actually the longest Iowa class because of that accidental ramming

when is aigle video coming? i was rly lucky and got it - and then got a kraken in my first game in it!

I have actually been on the U.S.S Missouri and the U.S.S North Carolina

The Japanese (Aleutian Islands) and the Canadians/British (burning down the capital buildings in the District of Columbia, but politely saving all books and promptly returning them) are the only instances I can think of were the United States were directly threatened. The standard was to let the Canadians, British, French, Polish, Russians, Australians, Indians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Czechoslovakians, Swedish, Dutch, Belgians, Yukoslavians, Kroatians, and the list goes on... do all the leg work while the US enjoyed war profiteering and in both WW1 and 2 entered only after they were engaged (Lusitania/Pear Harbour) when their ego was hurt and the odds were favourable for them.

Almost a year grinding for steel and at 13k steel. Will I ever get there? I hope but we’ll just have to see,

bro i loved it when i went on this absolute machine

Yay spartan making a Missouri video in my birthday! What is my luck! 😁😁

The Iowa is docked in the Port of L.A.

So people are just about done grinding forge for Missouri my God that's a long grind

Idk how the Iowa isn’t a legendary it could go toe to toe with the Yamato in irl

Gold star to the person to reply her nickname

Uss iowa is in San Pedro southern California

Any clues what the next Steel ship will be? Love the look of Missouri but not a great BB player so it may be wasted on me

They should’ve added the USS Wisconsin , since it was the LAST EVER battleship to be in a war , been in war from ww2 to gulf war

I’ve been on this ship, it’s huge
