Which Missouri? The one that can give large amounts of credits per battle (Legacy Variant), or the slightly worse Iowa with a semi-modified model (0.10.7 Variant)?
I love this video. The fact that this is the first plastic model of a warship I ever built, it's history and other factors are why it'd my favorite warship ever. I love this video, I waited so long 😍😍🤩☺
Knowing the history.... did anyone else tear up a bit at the part about the kamikaze's?.... That and the salute to the Arizona at the end got me too...
I’ve been there when I was 18 with my sister. I was imagine what that pilot was thinking just before the impact. Was melancholy at first but realistically probably “Death to America all hail Emperor” or “Mom they didn’t tell me how to land” Just made a speech about Pearl Harbor today, there was a half Japanese friend ish that presented right before me. Its her birthday she explained how she felt adversity because she was half Japanese. She even freaking winked at me when I showed Mount Fuji, damn I feel bad for her. it was pre-prepared I’ve stayed neutral. The black tears of Pearl Harbor was a scene
What an amazing storyline. I'm from Arizona, and the USS Arizona is my consumate favorite ship. The story about mooring the Missouri with the guns had me tearing up so fast...
Man I read the first sentence when I started watching the video so I came back to comment after and noticed you also commented on what I was going to. That salute to the Arizona watching over her and all the souls still on eternal patrol. Absolute class act. Thank you to all the men and woman in the military that put everything on the line for us civilians. I’m Canadian and have nothing but the utmost respect for military members here and abroad
Married my wife whos from Japan on beach of Oahu back in June of 2019 and we went to Pearl Harbor after our wedding and both got to stand on USS Missouri at the very spot where Japan had surrendered. It was very surreal to think of how different the world was just 78 years ago and that our union would have been unthinkable back then. Even more ironic because I looked around the main deck of the ship near Turrent #2 where my wifes country finally gave up their pride and surrendered, half the tourists we saw were Japanese with translator guides. My wife was very open minded and courious to see the "American" version of history as she had been tought differently growing up in Japan in the late 80s and 90's about Pearl Harbor and the ar. I was however REALLY BUMMED out I couldn't see/pay respects to the Arizona because it was closed due to damage to the anchor system. Would have been another childhood dream come true on that trip. When I first got off the tour bus, I had a wave of emotion, feeling just awe to know that I was at the very spot where so much history was created and so much life was lost, all I could do was say a prayer before I kept going.....
I actually got the opportunity to talk with a member of the crew from Missouri earlier this year! He was there during the surrender of Japan and told me stories about the crew and the ship! She represents my home state in the best way!
It's quite sad, but also amazing. It's only been 80 years since the most devastating war in human history, yet we today are much closer than we think to it since our grandparents most likely endured it and went through those 6 tough years. Amazing to know many people who went through those years lived long enough to tell their stories!
The iowa class, probably one of the finest battleships of WW2, no match. Imagine what the showdown would have been like between any of the iowa class and the yamato, the biggest battleship ever made went face to face!
@@metaknight115 Crew and tech are 1 thing, the other is supplies, considering the gas guzzlers the Yamato were, plus there were reports of certain maintenance issues, on the ship itself, such as lightbulbs would explode for no reason from power fluxes, That being said they were never true log distant ocean voyagers, they were good in the archipelago of Japan and the rest but not like going into the North Atlantic or Pacific,
@@alexandarvoncarsteinzarovi3723 Actually, the reason lightbulbs would explode was because due to how powerful the muzzle blast and shockwaves were when Yamato's main guns were fired.
I served on board. What an incredible Dreadnaught she will always be. I shined that very plaque on the Quarterdeck with nevr dull many times on mid watches. It led me to a great career I wish I could have served my entire career on board what I will always view as the place I became a man. A piece of me will reside on her hallowed decks and in her history forever.
Seeing all the enlisted sailors watching the Japanese surrender is amazing. How many times in history has the lower ranks been present when a major war ends. There is something so American about that moment, it makes me proud.
I consider my 3 week long layover in Hawaii while with the USMC one of the most fortunate events of my life thus far. Getting to set foot on Missouri was one of many highlights of my time there. I truly do appreciate WG making these videos highlighting the lives of such historic ships as Missouri. I don't use twitter so no Missouri for me.
@@benschoppert7769 the US would be in alot of trouble if the Iowas had to be woken up dude. Its not incase of a naval fight, most are museums etc so are kinda maintained but nowhere near combat ready. If the iowas had to be sent out then that would mean the US is on its last legs and theyre being used to defend the most important area
I was born in Arizona and I find it comforting that the beginning of WW2 is just meters away from the ending and that the Missouri is watching over my state’s ship
saw her in pearl harbor for the first time in summer of 2017, what an amazing ship! the first time i saw this lady and stepped on her teakwood deck was back in november 13, 1990, the same day she was underway to persian gulf. i called her home from november 13, 1990 to march 31, 1992, on the decommissioned date. home sweet home for all them days. i'm so fortunate to have served on this lady, and went to war on this battleship.
Missouri got hit by a kamikaze but it literally shrugged it off and continued the fight. Fires were quickly extinguished and no American lives were lost.
I'm so proud that i actualy visited this massive ship in real life as an European, as a Hungaryan to be exact. With my visit i got my self a paper card, a card that would have allowed me to get this beautifull Missuri ship ingame by tiping the code that is provided on the card. That was the reason i dowloaded the game, would ahve started playing BUT unfortunately it says that i have to be American to be able to get it. Instantly i got disapointed and deleted the game in my anger. Just wanted to tell my sad story. Carry on boyz
Yeah there's absolutely no way the Navy will ever recommission these ships, unfortunately. Too expensive to maintain, operate, and crew, obsolete in an age where air superiority is everything, there's really nothing a battleship can do that our modern fleet can't accomplish as is. Sad, but it's just not practical.
That was beautiful, my favorite part was when he explained why her guns were raised up. I shed a tear when they said it was symbolic in watching over the Arizona
Probably because she’s overrated and causes the other Iowa’s (especially New Jersey, the most decorated battleship in USN history) to be not deserve any recognition on anything. Missouri is everywhere: merchandise, video games, movies and everything man. Where’s USS New Jersey in a movie or videogame? She’s overrated. It doesn’t discredit the stuff she actually did, but those things shouldn’t give her superiority over the ships that outdid her. It’s unfair to those ships. Also it doesn’t help that girl in the BTS for Battleship said that Missouri was “the most important battleship in history”. Like, how? I guess USS Enterprise, USS New Jersey, USS Constitution, HMS Victory and HMS Warspite don’t exist…
@@Aelvir114 I saw an article describing Missouri as the most famous battleship ever made. Excuse me, but Bismarck has multiple movies, video games, models, toys, and even two God damn songs about her. Where's Missouri's song. Yamato had all of that as well, and an EXTREMELY successful anime series that has been on going since the 70s. New Jersey, Iowa, and even Wisconsin had more interesting careers than Missouri.
One of my uncles (Dick) was a navy signalman on the Missouri and was at Tokyo Bay when Japan signed the peace treaty. He told us he was handed a signal after the treaty was signed. He turned on his signal light, aimed it out towards the fleet, and flashed out the signal, "Cease Fire, Cease Fire." So, he actually sent the last signal of WW II. Back in the 1950s he was brought to New York to be on a TV show called “We the People” where they interviewed him about his experiences. I still remember watching my uncle Dick tell his story on television.
QM2 Jack Frost. Plank owner 1984 - 1987. Started in 6th division (boats), with the upper handling room as my GQ station on the 5' 36 mounts. Struck QM and spent my last years aboard on the 04 level bridge plotting courses across the Atlantic and the Caribbean. Remember "holy stoning" the decks in front of turret 2, polishing the brass on the 04 bridge and cleaning everything up every day after gunnery practice. Shooting the tops of icebergs in the Antarctic with full broadsides was a treat. Best time of my young Navy. Proud to be a Battleship Sailor on "The Big Stick"!
Im from Missouri and im close to Independence Missouri..... So this ship means a lot to the people here in Missouri..... Well if we have any war veterans from Missouri......
She would loose in a day battle with decent weather, would most likely loose in a night battle with decent weather, and would most likely win in any battle with poor visibility.
Imagine if the Montana class battleships were built today? With today's technology? They would be twice the size of the Iowa class battleships and it would be nuclear powered.
even if the Montana Class Battleships would be built, they would have an extra turret of a 16 inch gun, advanced dual purpose secondaries and more AA defense with Bofors 40mm quad
I was in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA in 2022. I recommend that you check the Battleship Missouri Museum and the Battleship Arizona Memorial the next time you visit Hawaii.
The Musashi and Yamato were the symbol of brute force, but they lack some versatility, the US navy had their ships much more flexible to deal with many situations. Battleships today obviously cannot match the modern warfare, even the Iowa class. But if the Navy one day upgrades the Missouri with more ATA guns and better missles, it may become a powerful sieging ship and serve the US once again
Its speculated that the reason why the USS Montana was canceled was due to the US congresswomen Jeannette Rankin of Montana voting no to the deceleration of war, the sole congress member to do so.
Man the Iowa-class are my favorite battleships and Missouri is my favorite of all! Feel blessed to have walked on her deck back home in Hawai’i!!! She’s a majestic beauty like her sisters! All hail the Mighty Mo!!!
i wish wows did it so that for example everytime you get a new ship, you can choose what ship in that class you want, and then get that, so for example if i unlock the tier 9 iowa, i can play missouri instead, it would add some much needed diversity to the game instead of always seeing the exact same ships
My uncle Ed Buffman was on the Missouri from launch date in WW2 to she came back to the US after WW2. He said he remembers the Invasion of Okinawa and when the kamikaze hit the ship. As of writing he's 99 an still in decent health. He's a founding member of a Veteran's museum in Media PA. He has a full detail 1/10? scale model of the ship at his home that i have loved since a child.
My Father was the radioman on the SS399 SeaCat - one of 12 Submarines that Escorted the BB63 Missouri into Tokyo Bay - My Father watched the whole Surrender thing from the bow of the SeaCat with a 1911 45 strapped to his side. Have this documented in his Diary which is in my Possession as well as Correspondence on Original SS399 Seacat Letterhead since My father was the Radioman. Was in Pearl Harbour 2018 to visit the Missouri. All of this and Born in St. Louis Missouri at St. Marys Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri
I knew they gonna shown up the proud sister of her class after Iowa. The one and only "Mighty Mo". Fact - because of the current seat President in office at that time of ww2 officially ended was Harry S.Trumman, he was from Missouri. It took place onboard her deck. If FDR live long enough, it will actually be Iowa took the glory but nobody in neither Navy or in the armed forces or historian talk argue cause "Meh~, the war is over, we should rest"
My friend was on the USS Missouri for its last trip around the world. He was an old timer of 25 years old at the time. It barely fit through the Panama Canal with inches to spare on both sides.
All of the remaining battle ships have been reconditioned by Eo of president Reagan. They are all in working condition and battle ready. They all have sleleten crews that keep everything working. If you get a chance to go to Hawaii go onboard the Missouri. Every station is lit up, there are signs everywhere saying "DO NOT TOUCH"! The biggest reason for the old war horses to be in battle ready condition is as a result of enemy EMP's that can shut down the modern "battle ships".
This story, gave me goosebumps, it's so amazing. Aswel were it end up at the start for the us involvement of the 2nd world War, at pearl harbor. It's on my bucket list of places to visit. And then to think I was already impressed by uss Texas and uss Iowa.
Can u still get Missouri my uncle was a gunner in turret one in ww2 and the Cold War I hope to see the ship in person one day he used to say she was our grand gem
Depends heavily on the opponent in modern days. If the hypothetical foe is China, BBs have their role to play. 70% of China's industry lays well within the range of an Iowa.
I don’t think today’s warships where tested the way these bad boys where in world war 2 , they could do it all, shore bombardment, ship to ship combat and anti aircraft she also dealt with kamikaze attacks, they earned there place in history
CV-6 was decommissioned in 1947, stricken in 1958 and sold for scrap later that year, only thing that's left is the stern plate with the name and a couple more bits
Can you picture how much beating this ship must had taken in it's years of serves, even into the age of modern weapons she stood the times until she was finally put into retirement
Its funny how everyone's answering here in the comment section when its specifically asked for you to to put the answer and time tag in twitter. Literally no one pays attention here jeez.

It was a honor to visit both The USS Missouri (BB-63) and The Arizona memorial.

The battleship Missouri was amazing and I love the ship and the whole Iowa class battleships
its over guys someone already won..

Just wanted to tell my sad story. Carry on boyz
The four Iowa sisters aren’t retired, they’re just sleeping.
Waiting for the US to call on them again
Let the steel-clad leviathans sleep for now and work to make sure we need not wake them

I'm pretty sure the 1989 turret explosion would prevent Iowa from going into active service again.
nobody can change my mind
battleships are the coolest ship
Win by pure superior firepower
Naval legends needs to go on Netflix it’s that good. Although this one is lacking the cool intro
Damn! We should have at least had 1 Montana
She was launched January 29th 1944. I love the raised guns watching over the USS Arizona.

The Iowa class battleships are my favourite class of battleships I think
The most beautiful war machine ever conceived
33 KNOTS?! THATS HELLA FAST!
35.4 knots which was achieved by Missouri's sister New Jersey is even faster. Those things may be gigantic, but they were definitely built for speed.
It just gives me chills Thanking about BB Missouri with her guns and colors hoisted as she keeps a watchful eye over
BB Arizona.
Another flawless video! Well done WG!
I miss the old openings. That is legendary opening you forgot
and rememebr folks... when the railguns come online.. the battleships WILL return
Ah, the USS Missouri... made famous by Douglas MacArthur and Casey Rybeck.
More than JUST a Cook!!
Imagine this ship comes face to face with the Yamato battleship or the Musashi
She would loose in a day battle with decent weather, would most likely loose in a night battle with decent weather, and would most likely win in any battle with poor visibility.

Have this documented in his Diary which is in my Possession as well as Correspondence on Original SS399 Seacat Letterhead since My father was the Radioman. Was in Pearl Harbour 2018 to visit the Missouri. All of this and Born in St. Louis Missouri at St. Marys Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri
I had the opportunity to see this beautiful ship about a week ago, amazing experience and so much history inside
I'm surprised that they haven't done the Iowa class battleship New Jersey considering she is the most decorated warship in the US Navy I believe.
They have... 5 years ago...
It's coming.
@@Miniahobbies I meant to the naval legends group, sorry I should have been more exact.
I knew they gonna shown up the proud sister of her class after Iowa. The one and only "Mighty Mo".
Fact - because of the current seat President in office at that time of ww2 officially ended was Harry S.Trumman, he was from Missouri. It took place onboard her deck. If FDR live long enough, it will actually be Iowa took the glory but nobody in neither Navy or in the armed forces or historian talk argue cause "Meh~, the war is over, we should rest"
My friend was on the USS Missouri for its last trip around the world. He was an old timer of 25 years old at the time. It barely fit through the Panama Canal with inches to spare on both sides.
They need to recommission the Iowa Class battleships.
Have u seen reagens plans.
All of the remaining battle ships have been reconditioned by Eo of president Reagan. They are all in working condition and battle ready. They all have sleleten crews that keep everything working. If you get a chance to go to Hawaii go onboard the Missouri. Every station is lit up, there are signs everywhere saying "DO NOT TOUCH"! The biggest reason for the old war horses to be in battle ready condition is as a result of enemy EMP's that can shut down the modern "battle ships".
They're not that useful in modern combat. All that armour, and all those guns, don't mean much to a missile
@@solthegamer3769 One EMP strike will knock out a modern destroyer. The old school ships are all analogue and are not affected by an EMP.
@@atbl100 And one missile will take out a Battleship
my granddad served on the uss missouri and the deck armor protected him from one of the kamikaze attacks
If you are ever in Hawaii you must visit this ship, it is a unique and amazing experience that you will not forget.
Indeed!
Better make a naval legends on Wisconsin soon. Before that famous temper strikes again!
About time, Naval Legend for the Big Mo. Hope in future you also make the series for Whisky too
its so weird seeing a battleship with modern weapons...
Awesome video.
Great quality production... Hope you guys keep up the documentary series
This story, gave me goosebumps, it's so amazing. Aswel were it end up at the start for the us involvement of the 2nd world War, at pearl harbor. It's on my bucket list of places to visit. And then to think I was already impressed by uss Texas and uss Iowa.
I actually get tears in my eyes every time.
My first ship that I ever been on! She is very special
9:55 THICCEST battleship I've seen so far XD
Smash
W I D E
Can u still get Missouri my uncle was a gunner in turret one in ww2 and the Cold War I hope to see the ship in person one day he used to say she was our grand gem
This is a brilliant video and teaches so much about a great ship. Nice work.
Uss missouri and iowa are my favourite in iowa class battleship
Mine are Missouri and Wisconsin
My Dad from Missouri, Mom from Wisconsin. Good enough reason for me.
Mom, I just pooped on my diaper during exercise onboard Miss Mo
this old battleship had so much gun but current warship just became less gun but much destruction
I know battleships are very old for modern warfare but I'd rather see cannon fire than missiles
No gun no fun
@@derekmurray1462 yap need more 400mm artillery barrage
Depends heavily on the opponent in modern days. If the hypothetical foe is China, BBs have their role to play. 70% of China's industry lays well within the range of an Iowa.
Imagine the Montana at 50 knots..
hell
Oh my god.
Thank you for this video missouri is my favourite ship of all time.
Mine is HMS Edinburgh, don't ask why, it just is :)
And she would go again, gallantly into battle.

Needs to be something other than Twitter allowed for sharing since some of us don't have it and will not or can not use it.

Never
Missouri 🇺🇸🗽
YES YES YES!!! Thank you World of Warships!
Answer: 29 January 1944.
Nickname: Haknaton
Server : EU
just imagine if the Montana class was built also, iowas and montanas together good god
I don’t think today’s warships where tested the way these bad boys where in world war 2 , they could do it all, shore bombardment, ship to ship combat and anti aircraft she also dealt with kamikaze attacks, they earned there place in history
I worked on USS Iowa as chief officer
The mighty Missouri unstoppable, unbeatable, and totally badass
I've been waiting for this
battleship can be bring back today
Still wondering if Cv6 enterprise is a museum ship where will she be place?
Uss Enterprise was scrapped after the war.
CV-6 was decommissioned in 1947, stricken in 1958 and sold for scrap later that year, only thing that's left is the stern plate with the name and a couple more bits
Possibly New York since they offered to buy Enterprise I think
You do know that USS Enterprise CV6 was scrapped over 60 years ago right?
@@Ent1610 hmmmmmm possibly indeed
i love this video, it is true and shows the true scale of what happened with the 'Mighty Mo' also would love to have her in this great game
Can you picture how much beating this ship must had taken in it's years of serves, even into the age of modern weapons she stood the times until she was finally put into retirement
Its funny how everyone's answering here in the comment section when its specifically asked for you to to put the answer and time tag in twitter. Literally no one pays attention here jeez.
When I was Commander of USS Missouri all the men loved me.
