Book Description
The USS Missouri, the last battleship built by the United States, ruled the seas when she fired her nine 16-inch guns. Ronn Ronck tells the full, exciting story of this floating fortress, from its christening by President Truman's daughter, Margaret, to its final resting place the Arizona Memorial, which straddles the sunken hull of the USS Arizona. Over eighty historic photographs gathered from the National Archives in Washington D.C. trace the ship's remarkable half-century of service to the nation. A special chapter reveals what life was like in "war-time Hawaii" between the Japanes attack that sunk the Arizona and the new era of peace achieved aboard the Missouri.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Battleship Missouri: The Battleship Missouri Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Hardcover)
I purchased this book because I am interested in battleships and saw that it was the guidebook of the USS Missouri memorial in Pearl Harbor. I was very disapointed to find almost no technical information regarding the Missouri such as is found in the guidebooks at other battleship memorials. Although this book contains a few nice color photographs, most of the WW II era photos are printed in a brownish sepia tone, presumedly to make them look more "antique"
