Title: USS Missouri
Post by: Porter on July 31, 2010, 03:39:31 PM

Missouri once again has something in the waters patrolling and making us safer!

Although I was always saddened to see the decommissioning of the Mighty MO battleship, it looks like they have picked a great sub to put the Missouri name onto now!

One day I hope to go to Pearl Harbor and see the Battleship.  I always remember seeing her fire away during Desert Storm.  Those massive guns would rock that ship!

I have a friend who was one of many Engineers that worked on designing this sub. He said it was an honor to be a part! Said this Lady is amazing.

The USS West Virginia was sunk at Pearl Harbor. A few years ago she also arose as a proud submarine.

Congrats to the people of Missouri. The Mighty MO sails once more.
