Thank you Arnold have been waiting on this card..  A great card and a great Battleship..!!  The USS Missouri BB63. Thank you mate for this great swap card. This is now a Museum Shipand  can be found in the Naval Yard at Pearl Harbour  Hawaii and us well worth the visit..I visited This ship when it was in Sydney for the Naval celebrations and again in Pearl Harbour..

  The USS Missouri BB63 is one of four Ioawa class Battleships built during World War II.  This is famous in the respect apart from its amazing service during the conflict but This ship took the Surrender of The Japanese Empire  in Tokyo Bay on September 2nd. 1945. The reason that this  ship known lovingly as " The Mighty MO" was that the then President of The USA  President Truman was from the state of Missouri and when asked by General Mc Arthur who was to take the surrender . "Sir "!"What ship will we use for the surrender "??  and of Course the President  Truman answered The USS Missouri of course..after all his wife Margaret Truman sponsered The "Mighty Mo "
The USS  Missouri BB63 s is one of four huge IOWA Class Battleships . They are  USS New Jersey BB62,  USS Iowa BB61, and the USS Wisconsin.BB64  All four of these huge ships are now retired from service with The US Navy and are all Museum ships  that can be vited today. The USS Missouri  BB63 is to be seen at Pearl Harbour. The USS Wisconsin BB64  can be seen in The National Maritme Centre  Norfolk Virginia  . The USS New Jersey BB62 can be seen In Camden New Jersey, and The USS Iowa BB61 can be seen in retirement dock #87 in The Port of Los Angeles  California..

  The BIG GUNS of The Mighty MO.

Looking forward to the Pearl Harbour Memorial
