The USS Missouri (BB-63), also known as "Mighty Mo," is an Iowa-class battleship that played a prominent role in U.S. naval history. Commissioned in 1944, Missouri was actively involved in World War II, notably in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and in the bombardment of the Japanese archipelago. The most significant event in its history occurred on September 2, 1945, when Japan's unconditional surrender was signed on its deck, officially ending World War II. Later, the USS Missouri served in the Korean War, providing naval fire support for United Nations forces. In the 1980s, the battleship was reactivated and modernized as part of the U.S. Navy's fleet expansion plan. During the Gulf War in 1991, Missouri once again saw action, supporting Operation Desert Storm with bombardments and missile attacks. Finally, in 1992, the USS Missouri (BB-63) was decommissioned and turned into a museum in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
