PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Describe the project, program, organization, publication or work for which the nomination is being
submitted (maximum one page). Clearly describe the historic property’s location, historicsignificance, the project’s purpose, goal, scope of activity, methods, achievement, unusual challenges,innovation, long-range impact, statistics and/or any other information which would assist in its
evaluation.
The Battleship Missouri Memorial stands 20 stories high as a living piece of history in thehallowed waters of Pearl Harbor. Charged as the caretaker for the Mighty Mo, the USS
Missouri Memorial Association was formed 21 years ago with the mission of bringing thedecommissioned USS Missouri home to Hawaii. In 1998, the Association fulfilled its goal andthe retired USS Missouri was relocated to permanently rest bow-to-bow to the sunken USS
Arizona, forever memorializing the battleship bookends of World War II.
The USS Missouri (BB-63) played an integral role in World War II, culminating in serving as
the site where the Allied Forces accepted Imperial Japan’s formal surrender to end the war on
September 2 - forever ending one of history's most devastating wars and restoring peace tothe world. Today, the USS Missouri is celebrated around the world as an international symbolof peace. The USS Missouri Memorial Association is dedicated to sharing the Battleship
Missouri's story and her place in history.
In 2013, the Mighty Mo crew completed a full renovation of 13 officer staterooms, collectively
known as “Officer’s Country,” restoring them to immaculate “inspection ready” condition. In
2014, this renovation project extended to the adjacent Wardroom, which served as a diningand leisure area for officers while they were at sea. Previously used only for exhibit andstorage space, the Wardroom was restored to operational condition, providing guests to theBattleship with a crystal clear vision of what it would look like in the day of the life of an officer
serving on the USS Missouri.
Dedicated staff and volunteers worked tirelessly on the renovations, which cost $61,207 inmaterials and labor. They first consulted with former crewmembers and historical experts toensure that the history of the Mighty Mo would be accurately reflected in the renovation
project. As part of the complete restoration, several projects were completed to ensure thehistorical accuracy of its final mission on Dec. 7, 1991. These projects included refurbishing
the tables and chairs by covering them in sleek blue vinyl material used in combat. Also, thesetting was recreated with chairs strategically placed in their actual position and marked withthe titles of their designated occupants.
Additionally, the lounge area on the starboard side of the Wardroom was completely
refurbished to include pristine furniture from the period when the USS Missouri last served hercountry. The Wardroom is accentuated by several small exhibits to help tell the story andillustrate the significance of this location in the Missouri's history.
Guests can now see firsthand where the Missouri’s officers gathered, dined, and strategizedwhile leading America’s last battleship during three wars – World War II, the Korean War, andDesert Storm. In addition, the Wardroom can now also be utilized by groups, associations andprivate parties seeking a unique historical venue for hosting special events, such as meetings,conferences, and receptions.
