Viewers watching the HAWAII FIVE-0 episode onboard the Missouri will also be interested in the special exhibit
located near the educational classroom honoring America’s Nisei (second-generation U.S.-born Japanese-Americancitizens) veterans. Unveiled on Veterans Day, the exhibit stretches more than 50 feet long and includes dramatic
photos, news articles and descriptive text on large display panels, and a video telling the story of how these
Americans of Japanese ancestry overcame the prejudice and questioning of their loyalty at World War II’s outset toearn acclaim and respect with their courageous exploits in Europe and the Pacific.
America’s last and most famous battleship, the gigantic USS Missouri stretches three football fields long and stands
20 stories tall from keel to mast, and was home to more than 3,000 sailors while in service. The “Mighty Mo”
protected America’s freedom in three wars – World War II, Korea, and Desert Storm – over a five-decade period, but
is best known for being the site where General Douglas MacArthur and the Allied Forces accepted Imperial Japan’ssurrender to end World War II and restore world peace on September 2, 1945.
Today, as the Battleship Missouri Memorial, the USS Missouri is berthed at Pier Foxtrot 5 on Ford Island in Pearl
Harbor, standing bow-to-bow to the sunken USS Arizona and creating a stirring bond between America’s twobattleships signifying the start and end of World War II.
