- USS Missouri being refloated in Pearl Harbor drydock #4. It took 2 1/2 months to repair her hull, miscellaneous rust, some new hull plates, new$$ dehumidifying system and other issues. For the refloat, 700 people, including VIP's, MMA founders, ship's crew, volunteers, and over 100 military to be reenlisted during the trip out of dry dock and back to our Pearl Harbor pier.
I am very grateful to be allowed to be aboard, and honored to take part in this chapter of the USS Missouri's history. God bless America.

Shocked they didn't tell these people not to stand outboard of the mooring lines.
The Sailor in me wanted to scream.
Cher turned back time on this massive vessel. 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺 🕊💕🕊
While she is still fully intact and capable of being put back into service with a little work, she hasn't ran under her own power in quite a number of years.
What a marvel she is.
No she cannot be put back in with a little work 🙄
Thank USS Missouri for your service
The USS Missouri, aka The Mighty MO, is now permanently berthed in Pearl Harbor. Finally, after YEARS of portraying death and destruction to millions of Hawaii visitors, we finally have a battleship in Pearl Harbor that represents the victory of WWII, and a memorial to those people who made that victory possible, our own parents and grandparents.

THE greatest generation
USS Missouri (BB63) is now a museum ship and is currently moored in front of the USS Arizona where the USS Oklahoma rolled over.
BB63 was towed into Pearl Harbor.
I am one citizen who is proud to see her there, no matter her current status. And thrilled to know she can be recalled to service.
This makes me so proud to have
Served in the Navy. I would have
Given anything anything to have
Served my country aboard her.The
Ship the flags flying makes me
Extremely proud of my fellow
Service men and women . What
A honor to be aboard her..
My country my flag I love this
N Reed U S N
thank you to all of the service men who served aboard the U.S.S MISSOURI DB 63

Thank you to all the men and women who served aboard Missouri thank you for your service and sacrifice for our freedom with such commitment and courage and bravery above and beyond the call of duty
Yeah, but none of them is the USS Missouri, where the Japanese surrender was signed!!!
The Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and New Jersey are all sister ships
My father did a stint on her .... pharmacists mate. Post war training missions out to sea out of Bayonne NJ. She is
Listed among other ships so on the back of his discharge papers. Proud of him and their generation. He served 11 years...started in 1943.
What a majestic old lady! I love the Iowa Class Battleships, and I know some may disagree, but I think we need to have such a capable warship commissioned in the USN. A Battleship Strike Group off each coast. Missiles are very effective weapons but those 16”/50 guns are a projection of power unlike any other.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but the Aircraft Carrier was the death knell for the Battleship ship type. They're not going to come back.
@@patrickwheatley2693 Carriers & Battleships coexisted for quite some time actually. And effectively so. Both being utilized as flag ships for commanders of the various battle/strike groups. If anything made the Battleship veer toward obsolete, it was box launched cruise missiles. Which ironically were installed on the USS New Jersey (BB-62) herself (among several other classes) during the Gulf War.
@@OldStreetDoc the Iowa class ships were brought out of the mothball fleet because the range of their primaries was far enough to inflict a lot of damage on Saddam Hussein's infrastructure.
Sure, there were some noteworthy battles involving Battleships after 1941, but if the sinking at Taranto in 1940 wasn't enough proof, the IJN used six Carriers to knock three Battleship divisions out of service in a single day in December of 1941.
Thank You Veterans
does anyone realize today the quality of workmanship that went into these vessels? The navy should quit wasting $500,000,000.00 on each aluminum littoral combat ship and have used the $$$ to put a modern reactor in place for power. then they could have pulled out the rear 16" guns and loaded in literally hundreds of cruise missles and anti aircraft missles. while still keeping 6 16" guns or even pulling 3 more and loading on several f-35 in that space. nothing in the world today or 20 years from know would have been able to match it and it could have been paid for by sacrificing just 4 of those beer and LCS ships with no armor or real weapons to speak of .
+Lee Morgan It's cheaper to build a brand new ship than maintain it and refit in the long run.
I can tell you're not an engineer. Otherwise you'd laugh pink off your own ass for even suggesting putting reactors in an Iowa. I would be cheaper to build a brand new battle ship from the keel up than to refit an iowa with a reactor.
It was cost more to "refit" an Iowa that it would to build a few Arleigh Burkes. What's your obsession with a reactor? Why??? You cant just take out a huge heavy turret and put in a bunch of light missiles. Not possible. The Iowas are sadly where they belong....retired.
@chris younts There is no "lack of armor". An Iowa is a VERY heavily armored Battleship. The only thing they have in common with a battle cruiser is high speed. They aren't remotely comparable otherwise.
And yes, Battleships are VERY hard to sink. Look at the ones that got sunk in combat.....took a lot to do it. Even Yamato and Musashi, with zero air cover still took hours to sink.
Also remember, the US never lost a Battleship at sea.
@@SealofPerfection You're right they never lost one at sea (to enemy action), but that might very well have changed if the USN gave the IJN half a chance.
Luckily no punches were withheld.
Shocked they didn't tell these people not to stand outboard of the mooring lines.
The Sailor in me wanted to scream.
I know that's right! That's a possible disaster in the making. I won't even get that close to a chain or rope pulling a car much less a battleship!
Standing under her in dry dock is something!
Yeah, but none of them is the USS Missouri, where the Japanese surrender was signed!!!
@@isaaclim6181 ? I don't understand your comment.
that is the USS Missouri, and I was speaking about the USS Missioui... because I'm a former crew member of the USS Missouri citing first hand experience.
@@bf6159
Sir, thank you for your service. I think Isaac Iim was actually meaning to post elsewhere - since he did in fact say the same thing as a comment to the video.
SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR HER COUNTRY WHEN NEEDED!
Sitting in Mothball most of it's life?
@@Dbodell8000 most? you’re delusional, and the ship always has the possibility to be brought back into service with her munitions restored
So your saying it hasn't been in mothballs most of it's life?
@@leo5504-l9v As if it would ever be brought back to service I think you delusional believing that.
@@Dbodell8000 It is modernized and has been since the Gulf War. Munitions can always be restored if necessary; It’s an old ship but still maintains the firepower she once had
BB-56 Washington would have been a much better choice to have the Japanese surrender on. She actually engaged and sank a Japanese battleship, at Savo Island, Guadalcanal in November 1942. The Missouri is the least historically signifigant fast battleship, aside the fact that Japan surrendered on her.
the only reason why she was chosen is because Truman was from Missouri.
My grandfather served on U.S.S. Washington, BB-56. I just wish she weren't scrapped. I'd have loved to see that ship.
Not in a war zone untill late '44
Brad Schane North Carolina is her sister ship, it would still give you an idea of what he saw by touring that ship instead.
@@bradschane2033 the North Carolina is Washington's sister ship, as such they might as well be the same. I have even been aboard her, it is a self guided tour so don't get lost.
Thank you Mighty Mo and all those who have served on you, or worked for you through all the years. You are a source of great joy and pride to this American heart!
I Love Big Guns
Unfortunately the Iowa Class Battleships have seen their last active duty service. The Navy won't reactive them again. Back in the 1980's President Reagan was met with some resistance over reactivating the Iowa's from some of the Navy brass. It seems they preferred shinny new warships with all the latest bells and whistles.
e
I know there used to be a deal about having Mo be able to reactivated within six months if needed. I guess that's over now. If Battleships were the lords of the ocean then Mighty MO was surely the king in her time
I "toured" it like 45years, ago, in Bremerton, WA. We were only allowed to walk through the forecastle(?) and walk around on the main deck. It must have been built for shorter sailors. I'm just 6ft tall and I was ducking all kinds of overhead obstructions. If you weren't paying close attention, you'd be knocking yourself out regularly.
they disgraced her by towing her like a garbage scow because it wasnt financily fesable to have a crew to take her there i know there were hundreds of men that would have given there life to take her there for the last ride of mighty mo i stood many different times on her at bremerton
she is to heavy and to big to move under her own power inside pearl
She would destroy the bottom of the harbor with her massive props. All large ships are towed in dick and in to dock.
basicly every ship is towed when in harbor even modern DDs
@@TheBamaChad-W4CHD so your saying her hull was scraping paint on the bottom?
your still right on the second part
@@ryanstuckey8677 - I think Brian was referring to the Missouri being towed from Bremerton, WA to Pearl Harbor.
the uss missouri miss the water so much.
crap this was 200? not 10 sorry try working for ufo guy
This old girl can be reactivated with very little effort. She is preserved so it won't take much to get her to sea again and into a fight!!
Slow? You do realize these ships had an average top speed of 33 knots right? That's about standard for even a modern warship. Large yes, but what is a supercarrier? A target, very much so because battleships still hold a lot of moral value and so if one were destroyed in battle it would be a huge blow to the publicity which helps keep the Navy funded.
She used to be kept ready enough to be activated in 6 months if needed. That was a deal the navy had with the people running the museum on her. Not sure if it's still the same in 2019. She hasn't been moved in quite a long time now. Nevertheless her guns are still pointing towards the final resting place of Arizona and her crew. Always defending her own!
@Karl Dubhe yeah I would like to see something try to get close enough to Mighty MO to damage her. When she is fully armed and ready her anti aircraft and anti missle capabilities are strong af!
@@TheBamaChad-W4CHD umm no. You do realize the Missouri was nearly hit by an Iraqi missle in Desert Storm? If not for a hail Mary shot by a British ship she might not be sitting in Hawaii right now. The Iowas have been completely cannibalized and their guns welded into place. They are not and can not come back. Give it up. Modern weapons would render them combat ineffective if one were to strike home.
William Rossi these people are just 9 year olds inspired by the movie battleship
I believe you're right, and it may be sooner than we all think,
All dressed up in New clothes, and ready to step out, lovely lady.
She is Awsome!! THE MO IS BEAUTIFUL GRACEFUL. YES SHE BE,BACK IN ACTION. ALL,THE,BATTLESHIPS NEED,TO,BACK,IN THE NAVY. YOU FIRE ALL,THOSE 16 GUNS ON,THOSE SHIPS. THEY ARE SAYING DONT MESS,WITH OLD SCHOOL
while i do agree with you when it comes to the rule of cool.
when it comes to reality i have to disagree, modern DDs will win almost every fight against a WW2 era BB
apart from the Iowas because they have some of the same weapons, and defences as modern DDs so they could possibly win. and if we throw out any concern over money then the DD will always win by just spaming out more missiles then the Iowa's could deal with.
why can't they store these ships on dry docks, at least it would reduce their hull corrosion due to salt water and prolong their majestic life.
From what I understand, the reason is that the hulls are designed to float. Prolonged dry docking can damage them.
Thank you for your serv ice
Thanks for posting this video. I'm actually from Missouri, so this ship has meant a great deal to me for many years, and to see it selected for the special honor of being a perpetual memorial to the U.S. Navy, its sailors and everyone who supported the U.S. efforts in WW II is really quite moving. I hope that millions of visitors will be touched by their visit to our namesake ship.
oh she will once more see war... we just have to wait for that day
