USS Missouri (BB-63) was a United States Navy battleship built during World War II and serving through the time of the Gulf War. She was the last ship of the Iowa class and one of the last battleships built in the United States. On her deck, on September 2, 1945, Japan signed the instrument of surrender that ended World War II. Missouri was ordered in 1940 and completed in June 1944. During the Pacific War, she took part in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, bombarding Japanese islands. She was also deployed during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. In 1955 she was decommissioned and transferred to the U.S. Navy Reserve Fleet. In 1984 she was modernized and later served as a support ship during the Gulf War. Missouri received a total of 11 battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Gulf War. She was decommissioned on March 31, 1992, but remained on the Naval Vessel Register until January 1995, when she was struck.
