Description

The name, USS Missouri, "will live on, assigned to a $2 billion nuclear-powered attack submarine now being welded together in Groton, Conn." The original USS Missouri was the "mighty battleship on which the Japanese formally surrendered to end World War II" and is now a museum at Pearl Harbor. This is the fifth vessel to bear the USS Missouri name. Includes a sidebar with USS Missouri stats, earlier ships named Missouri, and How You Can Participate.
