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

    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!

    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).

    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)

    She is a beast and should still be serving today.

      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
