My grandfather was the line officer, they may have known each other. That's quite crazy to think about.

He told me they had a helicopter on the ship, a couple of them they used for rescue and for spotting artillery rounds, my dad said they blew a north Korean train carrying troops and munitions ,off the tracks 20 miles away,good shooting dad! ,@@Thank_you_IDF_for_your_service

How proud you must be to have created such a thing of beauty. Well done and congratulations.

I can proudly say I was part of the “volunteer crew” that helped restore “Big Mo” back to her presentable condition in 1999 when I lived in Hawaii. The first thing I wanted to see was the exact spot where the Japanese surrendered. The spot is now located with a brass plate and covered with a glass bubble. USS Missouri and USS Arizona became what is known in Hawaii as the “Bookend Memorial. They are both right next to the South East side of the small Ford Island right in the middle of Pearl Harbor. By the way, the spot that they gave me to refurbish were the two 16 inch gun turrets in the front of the ship. It was my job to grind down every rust spot on those humungous gun turrets!

Of course let's remember that both warships were constructed in the same shipyard in Brooklyn, New York, just about 30 years apart.

I was there at the same time with my father. I worked a lot on the #2 Turret with a pneumatic chipping hammer and a lot of primer paint. I always take great pride in having helped restore her to honor her and her crews service to our country.
