Missouri, or Mighty Mo or Big Mo as she was called, was launched 29 January 1944 and commissioned 11 June 1944
Missouri was the last battleship

Empire of Japan which ended World War II
In the Pacific Theater of World
War II she fought in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa and shelled the
Japanese home islands, and she fought in the Korean War from 1950 to
1953. She was decommissioned in 1955 into the United States Navy reserve
fleets (the "Mothball Fleet"), but reactivated and modernized in 1984
as part of the 600-ship Navy plan, and provided fire support during
Operation Desert Storm in January/February 1991

battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Persian Gulf,
and was finally decommissioned on 31 March 1992, but remained on the
Naval Vessel Register until her name was struck in January 1995. In
