The Mo standing watch over the Arizona memorial is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.

@jeffoliveira9065 3 года назад

Nothing can ever replace the old time battleships. I just love the integrity of them.

One proud lady, 887 feet long. The " Mighty Mo." BB 63. WW2, Korea, Gulf war. U.S.S. Missouri.

@topgeardel 3 года назад

What an incredible piece of engineering and ship building. Gorgeous ship. It astounds me what the WW2 generation did in such a short time.

@kennygreenwood6950 4 года назад

Im long ret. U.S.N. but served 4 yrs on the mighty mo. Re uped for orders to her when i was to rotate to shore! Went through equator ceremony for 2nd time as a polywog because i wantef to be a "battleship" shellback. I've watched two of my previous ships scuttled as targets but I know one thing, they'll never do that to the Mighty Mo!

Ahhhhhh. Mighty Mo. USS Missouri. The sistership of USS Iowa. A ship that's helped us during the wars of the 20th century. She was Beautiful and she still is to this day.

@adamjones2025 3 года назад

I am a Australian and i LOVE these IOWA Class battleships, They maybe old and now and floating museums but gee these old girls if ever needed could unleash some major damage. Much respect to those who built them and sailed on them. Dam i wish i had a chance to see these girls in action!!

if this was after the persian gulf war in 1991, we visited fremantle/perth on 4/4-8/91. looking back what an honor and a privilege to have called her home for all them days: 11/13/90 to 3/31/92 (today, just happened to be 3/31/21: 29 years ago the battleship missoura got decommissioned).

@luismaldonado-wu2ks 3 года назад

Sup bro! Lol!

@fklaput 3 года назад

She was a museum ship in 1976 in Washington State. It was the largest ship I ever had the opportunity to walk on when I was 12 and remember her well. I hope to see her again one day

When the USS Missouri was in port for a visit on her last cruise ( San Francisco Bay 1991) I toke my 14 year son for a visit on her deck. We had to wait in a line which I think was a quarter mile long. Grand day to say thanks and good bye to the MIGHTY MO! GO NAVY! (1961-1967)

@ericdubois5492 3 года назад

I can't believe this is my first time seeing this.. I was aboard her during this.. One of the best memories I have was Manning the Rails pulling into port here..

@edwardchandler1187 Год назад

I am not Navy but Army and it is so extremely sad with her time in service and many who served on her to be decommisioned She is a beast and should still be serving today.

@rolfstaplesii3563 7 лет назад

Freemantle was not her last foreign port of call. That would be Hobart, Tasmania. We went there after we left Freemantle.

@zachboyd4749 7 лет назад

Rolf Staples II You served on the Missouri?

@rolfstaplesii3563 5 лет назад

@@zachboyd4749 Yes I did. From 1990-92

@zachboyd4749 5 лет назад

Rolf Staples II Wow, that's amazing. I went aboard her at Pearl and she's quite a sight to behold. I can only imagine sailing on her on active duty. Thank you for your service to our country and to this great battleship.

She will be back

@GaryFugginX 5 лет назад

I don't see battleship Missouri's return to the fleet ever. Her name was eventually passed down to the current USS Missouri -- a Virginia-class attack submarine (SSN-780), awarded in 2003, christened in 2009 and commissioned in 2010

@blech71 3 года назад

She did come back and in record time... she killed the aliens!

@thestrum71 Год назад

Met an old man back in 2004 while we were on tour in the US. He was wearing a 'Mo" cap. I asked him 'that's where the Japs signed their surrender right?' His answer: 'I know, I'm in the pictures... '

They need to rotate her birthing place... I'll never get to Hawaii to see her. Could bring her to the west coast every now and then so state bound people could visit.

@markusz4447 3 года назад

though it's not the same ship, Iowa is berthed near Los Angeles. You could go and visit that one

@tubedude54 3 года назад

@@markusz4447 New Jersey is closer to me and I do plan on visiting her in the near future. My underlying 'motive' for rotating them was that would require the navy keep them seaworthy and running!
