On our last trip to Oahu, we toured the
USS Missouri. The USS Missouri is where Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945. It's located near the
USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. From a day which will live in infamy to the war's end, Pearl Harbor is a fitting place for the memorials.
We had visited the Arizona on previous visits and wanted to do something a little different. We opted for the Heart of the Missouri tour to get a more in-depth look.
The tour does involve a lot of stairs and occasionally tight spaces. So, it may not be for everyone. There are self-guided tours for those who prefer to go at their own pace, but there will be some things you won't see.
The tour brought back a lot of memories for Harold, and it was fun seeing him interact with the tour guide, who was very knowledgeable. Even though Harold was never on a battleship, it seems there are a lot of similarities with cruisers and destroyers.
