Served with the Marine Detachment 88-90. I haven't been back to the ship since I walked down the brow in June 1990 as a 20 year old corporal. At the time I had no idea how memorable an experience this would be. Thank you for sharing this.
My dad who passed in 2017 at age 92 served on the heavy cruiser USS Louisville 1943-46 and they delivered Halsey staff of 150 officers in may 1945 in Guam. The Louisville had 3 kamikaze hits in the Pacific and my dad witnessed 52 sailors and Rear Admiral Theodore Chandler buried at sea. (1) main gun turret in in Nevada Desert. God bless our service men and service women past and present. Thanks for you video. We saw USS Missouri in 1976 and 1978 in Bremerton, WA. In 1976 she was closed for filming the movie MacArthur with Gregory Peck!
I saw the USS Missouri in Norfolk, Virginia (naval base) in November of 1953. I was only 5-years-old. My grandfather and I were there to pick up my uncle who was on the USS Lake Champlain (carrier) just back from Korea, as was the Big Mo. (I remember sailors n board throwing Chesterfield cigarettes to folks on the pier.) Anyway, I was very impressed with the Big Mo and her huge guns, and my grandfather bought me a model of the USS Missouri.
Such a legendary ship where alot of great Americans walked my uncle served on the midway in the gulf War then my great grandpa fought on D day I have alot of respect and appreciation for all our veterans thank u all for ur service God bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My favorite command, of the five that I was stationed at. 1990-1992 (Decommissioning Crew). Served as the Turret 3 Electrician, Switchboard Operator, At Sea Fire Fighting Team (Flying Squad), Repair Parts Petty Officer and small boat electrician (life boats and Captain's Gig). BEST ship that I was ever on.
It would be awesome especially knowing what had happened there in 1941. Thank you for your service from an Army veteran, 1990-1991, honorably discharged.
@@Rhaumar Capt. Chernesky was a character! I remember a rumor that as we were pulling into San Fran, Greenpeace was shadowing us and probably trying to throw paint or something. Rumor had it, Capt. had one of the turrets swung over to point at them, at which point they bailed off their vessel! Can NOT confirm, I was in #4 Engineroom and barely saw daylight. But if even remotely true, sure was funny.
Ah wow that was amazing. I can’t believe you walked above the clouds. My Debbie would absolutely love to be there it is her perfect getaway. She actually has a bucket list, and it has one thing in it. Scotland lol. I don’t think I would be able to manage the trek up to the top with my dodgy hips. It was so lovely to see Hank remembered g where he was. A digital detox is something I think everyone should try and do. Just last Sunday Deb and I took a drive out in the car to just see the fields and landscapes. We ended up in Hastings sea front to grab a table and enjoy some good old fish and chips, it struck me then as I looked across the restaurant a family of four, two kids both head down in their phones along with mum and poor old dad just sitting there silent. I just though it was terrible to see that. Going back to the title of the film I thought for a moment you were off on your summer travels. I was hoping to whisk you three away to the Isle of Wight for a day to go explore an anchorage. Just a little treat from Debbie and I. Keep up the great stuff you three. You all work so hard it’s amazing.
An amazing ship. I got a change to visit Pearl Harbor in May for three days. I spent three hours walking and climbing the battleship. I was so amazed how it was built I notice the smell was old and you could tell how old the equipment was. But the history of this ship is so honored to be an American. Must visit Pearl harbor in your life time.
I got to see that beautiful old girl last week when I was on vacation in Hawaii. I had not see that ship since it was underway during Desert Storm. My ship was its air support during the shooting of the big guns. Was good seeing the parts of the ship that we were able to see but I wish there were more areas open to the public for an open tour. The engineering spaces and Broadway need to be open to walk through also.
I hope to get the opportunity to visit Pearl Harbour one day to visit the Mighty Mo museum and Arizona memorial, being an avid scale modeller and having modelled both of these historically significant ships, would be a dream come true to visit them both in person. Thanks for the tour, greatly appreciated!!! Cheers from Sydney Aus!!!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻
My grandfather served on this boat and he had TONS of stories. One of the most common was fire missions that involved support ships, that when they were all firing simultaneously felt as if his bones were creaking and continued to feel the effects even as the guns rested. He used to tell me that his buddies and him would listen to outgoing and got so good they could calculate distance, similar to lightning strikes. They would bet money, cigs and rations for entertainment! He would never tell me any of the bad stuff, ever! Although, you could tell, even at my then age of 12y/o, he saw horrible things during the war! He had the eyes of a hawk and sometimes felt as though he was looking right through me at times and others as if the man could heal the world. Their generation went through hell and came out of it as extraordinary men. I can't imagine the fear they felt and I wish when I was younger that I had listened and asked more questions! Mi vuoi bene e mi manchi nonno, con tutto il rispetto del mondo!
I have a picture of the Missouri in my living room with the sun setting behind her it looked so awesome . I took that picture in the Persian gulf when we were both in Port together and all these years I always told people it was the Wisconsin. What a time !!
My dad served Admiral Nimitz post war (only 7 of them were chosen). He also played cards with Admiral Halsey! My dad always talked about his experience when I was a child and I never understood his honor, until I became an adult. He told stories of personal conversations with Admiral Nimitz and his wife. Wow…
KH thank you for posting a well done video. I am medically retired with neurological disease and will likely never travel by plane again so i will not be going to this majestic ship.
I Remember when I was a 10 year old Boy seeing the USS Missouri in Sydney,, Australia in the Early 80's, Good God She was Magnificent, I hope to see Her again at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii Some Lovely Day 👍😃
I was on that ship in 1990. My step dad was on that ship in long Beach, California. We went out to sea and they shot the guns off. I been to the bottom of the ship as well, it was pretty awesome
Very impressive visit. Please repeat this with a better camera (higher resolution), more clouds in the sky (because of the reflections) and a steadier hand. Then it would be perfect - more "thumbs up" for you in advance.... I feel a little sorry for the Japanese visitors: Everywhere the evidence of their defeat - also in their language. But it's ok like that. I know from my own experience that their English skills are not that good. I hope my school English is understandable? I really enjoyed your documentary and look forward to seeing more. Thank you for your contribution, Axel from Germany
When the USS Missouri was anchored at Suisun Bay Mothball fleet , I was able to fly over her in while in a P 51 Red Dog Xll We entered San Pablo Bay from Mt Diablo and flew over her twice before retuning to Livermore Talk about a “ bucket list “ item one that I will never forget
I had someone ask me why they didn't put the USS Missouri in Missouri and they were shocked when I told them that to do so would require it being cut into pieces and reassembled. The Mississippi River averages about 12 feet and the Missouri had a draft of more than three times that.
After touring her in Pearl , I REALLY don't think it be very hard to make her battle ready . Everything inside hasn't been butchered up . I'm surprised they don't fire the boilers once in awhile . Very impressive !
I have very rare experience I was Beruit 83-84 saw the USS NEW JERSEY fire and the Bob Hope USO show on her .When stationed out in Camp Pendleton a friend got stationed aboard th USS MiSSOURi he gave my wife and I a tour on the ship from the. surrender was signed to the tomahawk deck
I was there too, straitjacket8689, I reported aboard USS New Jersey a week before the Marine Barracks were bombed in Beirut. I was the Tactical Action Officer on watch that night. It is still a terrible, sad memory for me - a New Jersey crew member was killed in the bombing.
Oh my goodness, the ship is convoluted. You should definitely take hearing protection with you and have a harness made. If the Missouri fires you will be thrown out of bed. Hence the belt. You should use hearing protection when you want to sleep and when the guns fire

My personal and somewhat embarrassed advice if you are a senior and you take the below decks special tour, there are NO bathrooms and it's very, very hot. But, it's worth it!
Great question! I’ve been trying to figure this out to, I can only assume the reason is because Pearl Harbor is a military base? All I know is that when we boarded the shuttle, the staff told us we were not allowed to film on the shuttle.
We didn’t see anything that looked like it shouldn’t’t be filmed. However I just found an article which says you need a permit to film but even if you do security will question on what your intentions are to film.

I got lucky during a private tour, the guide took us into the bridge and control rooms. there are still maps and documents from the Iraq tour of duty.

I remember walking on the USS Missouri when it was in Bremerton, WA for many years before being towed to Pearl Harbor.
I enlisted in the Navy, on the aft deck, in front of turret #3, in Pearl Harbor, a long time ago......
That’s awesome! Thank you for your service.
I was on that ship in 1990. My step dad was on that ship in long Beach, California. We went out to sea and they shot the guns off. I been to the bottom of the ship as well, it was pretty awesome
Just an awesome sight!
What time capsule ! thanks for the tour I didn’t get a chance to see it last time I was in Hawaii a few months ago
She was my best command. We used to slide down the stairs to chow hall. 90/92. Operations dept.

I saw Missouri in 1990 in the Persian Gulf, off Dubai, during the embargo against Iraq. I was a sailor in the French navy on the fasm Dupleix 😉
Was inside there 2 years ago, pretty eerie down there especially if ur alone
I took the tour a few years ago. It was awesome
Mighty mo sat in Bremerton, wa for decades after ww2 and did tours thier! Beautiful ship.

The ship hasnt been run since the 90s so it would be pretty hard to get the engines running.
So awesome!

had such a weird feeling taking a field trip and staying the night on the ship
Thank you for this video
Perfect 👌 and thenx
My big brothers FIRST ship!!!! BM2 James Moody. #GoNavy
Would anyone else here love to see the USS Missouri restored to her World War II configuration?
Beautiful
I hope to go there some day
My second ship... 85 - 88. OC Division. Best command out of 7
14:00 what do the inscriptions in Russian mean “search sector” and “sector without search” and why in Russian?
These ships need to be back in service!!!
I was there last week
Uau!! Amazing

The belt is for rough seas

The camera was so shaken that my sister and I had a headache.
Needed to slow the camera down went too fast.
Only non-Navy folks would climb down a ship's stairwell like that.
