Touring the Mighty Mo
The USS Missouri was built during World War II, although her keel had already been laid when Pearl Harbor was attacked. She was commissioned in June of 1944 and sailed into Pearl Harbor on Christmas Eve of that same year. It was a rather modest beginning for this famous ship.
The Mighty Mo was assigned to the Third Pacific Fleet, to build up the fleet that had been destroyed. She had impressive firepower with her nine 16 inch guns. She also had 20 anti-aircraft guns. She completed many missions during WWII, not the least of which was being the flag ship for Admiral Bull Halsey. This historic ship definitely got to see its fair share of battle, for good or bad.
