wildlifebuffet, No, it is a very interesting case. Both vessels were ordered in late 1940. USS Missouri was first and became BB-63, USS Wisconsin was ordered next and became BB-64. The problem is that work on BB-63 was slower than that on BB-64. USS Wisconsin was launched in 1943, USS Missouri was launched in 1944. So “The Mighty Mo” even though ordered first was last down the ways. There were a BB-65 and BB-66 ordered in 1942 but they were never completed.

Player #Scarlett, I was there watching when Mighty Mo was towed by the Waikiki. It was raining and then the Sun broke through, very surreal yet fitting.

Our Ship escorted The USS New Jersey(BB-62) the sister ship. It was AMAZING to watch those 16 inch guns fire.

One signifies the beginning of WW2 and the other the end of the war!! How fitting that they lay to rest together!!

She’s not only guarding the men entombed in the Arizona, she’s honoring them and showing respect.
Disappointed
I saw Big Mo sail into San Diego harbor in 1984

Player #HoneyHeart, Overtime ships have many crews.
Player #HoneyHeart
I didn't realize battleships could get awards-- after all, it is the crew on board that actually performs the successes.

It's not up to date. There's a new one since then.

December 7 1943 was the commission date of the USS Wisconsin BB 64

When I was in my school at Point Mugu to become an electronics technician, the Missouri came to our range for gunnery exercises. When she fired her guns, the whole building shook and the teacher had to pause his lecture, because we couldn't hear him. Even though she was a couple of miles offshore, it was amazingly loud!

USS Texas was commissioned and finished in 1892 before the Missouri

my Dad served on the MO well and Korea.We have pictures of the signing of the Japanese surrender. We toured her as a family in 2008 in Hawaii. A very humbling experience.

answer is wrong. USS Wisconsin was the last battleship.
