Memorial, completes a historical visitor experience that begins with the “day of infamy”
that saw the sinking of USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor and ends with Imperial Japan’s
unconditional surrender aboard USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Following an astounding
career that spans five decades and three wars, from World War II to the Korean conflictto the Liberation of Kuwait, the “Mighty Mo” was decommissioned and donated to theUSS Missouri Memorial Association, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, which
operates the battleship as a historic attraction and memorial. The association oversees
her care and preservation with the support of visitors, memberships, grants and thegenerosity of donors.
