When visiting the island of Oahu, the USS Missouri is a must-see. Stepping aboard this massive ship, I was in awe of its size, its capability and its historical significance. Visiting on a rainy morning definitely set the tone for our tour. Here’s a look into this amazing battleship, the USS Missouri.
Walking along the decks, we were able to see how the ship functioned by peering into the Captain’s bridge, the communication room and observe some of its powerful, impressive armaments.
A special spot we walked by was the spot where the Japanese surrendered to the Allied forces in 1945 ending the War in the Pacific. (I thought I got a picture, but I can’t seem to find it…click here if interested.)
Of course taking my Loubous aboard…just as a rainbow came out! A FULL RAINBOW!
Going below deck we toured the mess halls, the Truman line, the dentist office and even the narrow bunks that the sailors used to hot bed.
Walking through the museum part of the ship left a sadness in my heart for all the young men and women that have given their lives for our country. It was a wonderful experience visiting this amazing ship…one I will never forget.
