Married my wife whos from Japan on beach of Oahu back in June of 2019 and we went to Pearl Harbor after our wedding and both got to stand on USS Missouri at the very spot where Japan had surrendered. It was very surreal to think of how different the world was just 78 years ago and that our union would have been unthinkable back then. Even more ironic because I looked around the main deck of the ship near Turrent #2 where my wifes country finally gave up their pride and surrendered, half the tourists we saw were Japanese with translator guides. My wife was very open minded and courious to see the "American" version of history as she had been tought differently growing up in Japan in the late 80s and 90's about Pearl Harbor and the ar. I was however REALLY BUMMED out I couldn't see/pay respects to the Arizona because it was closed due to damage to the anchor system. Would have been another childhood dream come true on that trip. When I first got off the tour bus, I had a wave of emotion, feeling just awe to know that I was at the very spot where so much history was created and so much life was lost, all I could do was say a prayer before I kept going.....

I actually got the opportunity to talk with a member of the crew from Missouri earlier this year! He was there during the surrender of Japan and told me stories about the crew and the ship! She represents my home state in the best way!

Amazing to know many people who went through those years lived long enough to tell their stories!

I served on board. What an incredible Dreadnaught she will always be. I shined that very plaque on the Quarterdeck with nevr dull many times on mid watches.

When did you serve on her, I served on her from 1991 and decom’d in 1992. I was in second division deck.

Seeing all the enlisted sailors watching the Japanese surrender is amazing. How many times in history has the lower ranks been present when a major war ends. There is something so American about that moment, it makes me proud.

I consider my 3 week long layover in Hawaii while with the USMC one of the most fortunate events of my life thus far. Getting to set foot on Missouri was one of many highlights of my time there. I truly do appreciate WG making these videos highlighting the lives of such historic ships as Missouri. I don't use twitter so no Missouri for me.

Naval legends needs to go on Netflix it’s that good. Although this one is lacking the cool intro

This ship's story was so great, that it made me cry out of sheer respect. I want to be on board her at least once in my life.

saw her in pearl harbor for the first time in summer of 2017, what an amazing ship! the first time i saw this lady and stepped on her teakwood deck was back in november 13, 1990, the same day she was underway to persian gulf. i called her home from november 13, 1990 to march 31, 1992, on the decommissioned date. home sweet home for all them days. i'm so fortunate to have served on this lady, and went to war on this battleship.

I was born in Arizona and I find it comforting that the beginning of WW2 is just meters away from the ending and that the Missouri is watching over my state’s ship

I was waiting for Missouri to appear on Naval Legends for a long time. Finally. Thank you.

I'm so proud that i actualy visited this massive ship in real life as an European, as a Hungaryan to be exact. With my visit i got my self a paper card, a card that would have allowed me to get this beautifull Missuri ship ingame by tiping the code that is provided on the card. That was the reason i dowloaded the game, would ahve started playing BUT unfortunately it says that i have to be American to be able to get it. Instantly i got disapointed and deleted the game in my anger. Just wanted to tell my sad story. Carry on boyz

Probably because she’s overrated and causes the other Iowa’s (especially New Jersey, the most decorated battleship in USN history) to be not deserve any recognition on anything. Missouri is everywhere: merchandise, video games, movies and everything man. Where’s USS New Jersey in a movie or videogame? She’s overrated. It doesn’t discredit the stuff she actually did, but those things shouldn’t give her superiority over the ships that outdid her. It’s unfair to those ships. Also it doesn’t help that girl in the BTS for Battleship said that Missouri was “the most important battleship in history”. Like, how? I guess USS Enterprise, USS New Jersey, USS Constitution, HMS Victory and HMS Warspite don’t exist…

Remember "holy stoning" the decks in front of turret 2, polishing the brass on the 04 bridge and cleaning everything up every day after gunnery practice.

One of my uncles (Dick) was a navy signalman on the Missouri and was at Tokyo Bay when Japan signed the peace treaty. He told us he was handed a signal after the treaty was signed. He turned on his signal light, aimed it out towards the fleet, and flashed out the signal, "Cease Fire, Cease Fire." So, he actually sent the last signal of WW II. Back in the 1950s he was brought to New York to be on a TV show called “We the People” where they interviewed him about his experiences. I still remember watching my uncle Dick tell his story on television.

If you get a chance to go to Hawaii go onboard the Missouri. Every station is lit up, there are signs everywhere saying "DO NOT TOUCH"! The biggest reason for the old war horses to be in battle ready condition is as a result of enemy EMP's that can shut down the modern "battle ships".

Mine are Missouri and Wisconsin My Dad from Missouri, Mom from Wisconsin. Good enough reason for me.

The Musashi and Yamato were the symbol of brute force, but they lack some versatility, the US navy had their ships much more flexible to deal with many situations. Battleships today obviously cannot match the modern warfare, even the Iowa class. But if the Navy one day upgrades the Missouri with more ATA guns and better missles, it may become a powerful sieging ship and serve the US once again

its so weird seeing a battleship with modern weapons...

I actually get tears in my eyes every time.

The dent in the starboard side from the first kamikaze plane is still there. And the captain of the ship ordered that the pilot from that plane be given a proper Burial at Sea. Complete with a Japanese flag.

My first ship that I ever been on! She is very special

And she would go again, gallantly into battle.

I was in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA in 2022. I recommend that you check the Battleship Missouri Museum and the Battleship Arizona Memorial the next time you visit Hawaii.
