Description: About this productProduct InformationThe story of the USS Missouri , one of America's most famous warships of the twentieth century, and the world's last battleship, is told from her inception in 1940, through WWII kamikaze attacks, to her being the location of the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay, on September 2, 1945. Missouri 's post-WWII activities are covered, from her transporting of the Truman family from South America, to her unfortunate grounding in the Chesapeake Bay, on to her return to combat, not only off Korea in 1950, but also the Persian Gulf in 1990-91. The story of this historic ship is presented through carefully researched photos, many of which have never before been published, and are reproduced in remarkable clarity. The story culminates in Missouri 's current status as a museum in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Large, clear photos, coupled with descriptive and informative captions, puts the reader on the deck of this legendary American warship. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.Product IdentifiersPublisherSchiffer Publishing, The LimitedISBN-100764355627ISBN-139780764355622eBay Product ID (ePID)250386604Product Key FeaturesBook TitleUss Missouri (Bb-63) : America&Apos;S Last BattleshipAuthorDavid DoyleFormatHardcoverLanguageEnglishTopicMilitary / World War II, Military / Naval, Military / United StatesPublication Year2018GenreHistoryNumber of Pages128 PagesDimensionsItem Length9in.Item Height0.8in.Item Width9in.Item Weight33.7 OzAdditional Product FeaturesSeries Volume Number3Number of Volumes1 Vol.Lc Classification NumberVa65.M59d69 2018Copyright Date2018Target AudienceTradeLccn2018-934109SeriesLegends of Warfare: Naval Ser.IllustratedYes
