About the USS Missouri
The USS Missouri was the world's last active battleship, and this cutaway preserves her original 1945 design. Her keel was laid at the New York Navy Yard on January 6, 1941, and she was commissioned on June 11, 1944. She was the third ship in her class but the last of the four to be commissioned. She served as Third Fleet flagship and hosted the September 2, 1945 Japanese surrender ceremony that ended World War II.
