On September 2, 1945, the Japanese signed the surrender letter on the USS Missouri berthed in the Gulf of Tokyo, marking the end of the Second World War. The Missouri battleship, which witnessed that important historical moment 70 years ago, is now stationed quietly on Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, Oahu Island, Hawaii, for people to visit and remember. This year coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Second World War, so it is strongly recommended that you visit Hawaii for a holiday: the Battleship Missouri Memorial. Hawaii is a nest for Japanese immigrants and tourists, but you rarely find Japanese here. Hey, Missouri Battleship Memorial Hall, Oahu Island, Hawaii. The place where World War II ended (pictured) The Battleship Missouri was named after Missouri, the birthplace of then President Truman. It was officially launched into service in 1944. It participated in the Battle of Iwo Jima, the Battle of Okinawa and the Korean War, and retired after the Korean War. In the 1980s, in order to contain the Soviet Union, the Missouri battleship was modernized and rejoined the U.S. Navy, and then participated in the Gulf War. Retired after the war, he arrived at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in 1998 and anchored in his present position. In 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial was officially opened to the public. The life of the Missouri battleship is full of legend. It is a lucky ship. It has participated in many battles, including many attacks by the Japanese kamikaze attack team, but none of its crew has been injured or sacrificed (including peacetime training). The Missouri Battleship Memorial is now docked close to the Arizona Memorial, so you can see where the war started and ended at the same time. Standing on the side of the Missouri battleship, you can also see the tears of the Arizona, the oil seeping from its underwater debris, which has flowed for more than 70 years. If you're lucky, you can also see the active U.S. naval vessels in Pearl Harbor. Visits to the Memorial of the Battleship Missouri are not allowed to carry bags (including other public areas in Pearl Harbor, where items can be deposited outside the Pearl Harbor gate). There are free parking lots, but there may be tight parking spaces. You can buy tickets in advance on the Chinese official website of the Battleship Memorial of Missouri, or at the Pearl Harbor site. The tickets will include free Chinese shuttle trucks and Chinese explanations, so you can't be afraid of not knowing history and English. I believe you will be deeply attracted by the historical story of the Missouri Battleship Memorial, whether you have ever been interested in history or not. If time is enough, the best choice is to go deep into the Battleship Missouri Memorial Hall and get a full understanding of its past and present life as well as the life of the sailors.

    It is worth going. You can understand the real history of the Japanese army signing the surrender letter. There is a free Chinese tour guide to provide tour guide service. The explanation is very detailed and interesting. The ship is very large and takes an hour to visit.

    The Missouri was commissioned in June 1944. On September 2, 1945, General MacArthur accepted Japan's unconditional surrender on the deck of the Missouri warship, and the Second World War ended. The Missouri was retired in February 1955 and then modernized and re-entered service in May 1986. He joined the Gulf War in January 1991 and was officially retired in 1992. Beginning in 1999, Missouri was converted into a memorial ship, moored at Pearl Harbor, becoming a witness to the beginning and end of the Pacific War.

    The Missouri ship, which was transferred from Bremerton, Washington, to Pearl Harbor, is now parked next to the Arizona battleship, marking the end of World War II.

    my father was under the command of gen.Douglas Mc arthur during liberation of the Philippines 🇵🇭 and sailed on the Missouri. after my son graduated training usmc in 2007 we had met up with him and my father and toured the Missouri. it actually brought tears to my father's eyes while on top of that famous deck, and had asked my father if he was he ok and to what he was crying about..he said son, it's just too hard to really talk about it..your father had both good and bad memories of that war, and hope my grandson never ever has to experience what I have. Sadly my father passed away in 2011 and the Missouri tour was one I'll never forget. She was so huge and equipped and could carry a small city..in 2012 the Philippines awarded my father with a medal and commendation for his service helping liberate the Philippines...an article of that was published in his hometown newspaper before he passed away. Thank you THE MISSOURI ❤️

    The ticket window bought tickets to the Missouri. Tickets for the Missouri Battleship Memorial are $25 per person. Tickets for the Missouri Battleship Memorial include shuttle bus fares to and from the Ford Island and Arizona Memorial Hall. First, go to the Missouri, take a free bus. Around ten minutes, arrive at the Missouri and board the main deck of the Missouri. Foreigners know that we are from China and then assign us a small group of Chinese speakers. It's free. The Missouri's situation and war history are explained in detail along the way. Instead of walking with them full, we shuttle like a child in a big toy, climb up and down the bridge, and experience the combat positions and living quarters of ordinary crew members. As I passed the kitchen and the berth, I was thinking that many young people came here with different dreams and goals, and that their days on the ship were memorable all their lives. The crew will take pictures of you when you get on board, but it will cost 35 dollars to get the pictures when you get off the ship.
