Visit USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor: Visit & Volunteer

By Jared Dillingham

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A VISIT TO BATTLESHIP MISSOURI!

Pearl Harbor is the final resting place for many ships that played important roles in American History, including the USS Missouri, a Navy battleship built in the 1940s.

Battleship Missouri, known as the “Mighty Mo,” is now a floating museum which provides a truly unique visitor experience!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The USS Missouri is perhaps best known as the site of the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II. On September 2, 1945, the Japanese delegation signed the Instrument of Surrender aboard the Missouri, officially bringing an end to the war.

On a visit to the battleship, now permanently docked at Pearl Harbor, you’ll learn about its role in other conflicts, including the Korean War and the Gulf War. Plus you have the unique opportunity to volunteer on various restoration projects onboard.
