Step aboard the battleship where the Second World War ended, moored at Ford Island in Pearl Harbor.

Launched in 1944, the USS Missouri served in the Pacific, in Korea and in the Gulf War. On 2 September 1945 the Instrument of Surrender was signed on her deck in Tokyo Bay. Since 1999 she has been a memorial at Ford Island, close to the USS Arizona Memorial, with a guided tour included in general admission.

Facilities

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

  • A grill, shaved ice and a gift shop on the pier; eating on board is not allowed.
  • Bag storage near the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center entrance, for a fee.
  • Free shuttle buses between the Visitor Center and the ship.
  • Complimentary wheelchairs at the main entrance.

Bring a clear bag or none at all, sun protection and a government-issued photo ID. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

Accessibility

A ramp at the aft entry leads to the main deck, and a lift runs from the main deck to the Surrender Deck. The wardroom is the only interior room accessible by wheelchair; ladders and stairs elsewhere on the ship are steep.
