Off the Beaten Sea: World Cruises of the Mighty Mo

In the wardroom of USS Missouri, a large map of the world captures the voyages of USS Missouri. This map was painted after the end of World War II as the battleship made her way to New York City in time for Navy Day on 27 October 1945 but has been updated through her career through the 1990s (although two 1980s voyages were left off)....

This year we participated in Museumships Bravo Zulu challenge coin and awarded our beloved volunteer, Annette "Netter" Lancaster. A big BRAVO ZULU to Netter!

"Annette “Netter” Lancaster is a longtime volunteer of the USS Missouri Memorial Association, Inc. Her main work involves preservation and restoration of the Missouri’s historic teak decks. She has pulled it up, replaced it, sanded it, buffed it, drilled it, and even burned it! “Netter” is the go-to person for teak information.

Saturdays are not Saturdays without “Netter” being on board. She holds the record for drilling and replacing plugs on the newly installed teak and states that one of the best presents she ever received was a replacement Makita sander.

Her craftsmanship is evident in refurbishing the old teak deck – carefully developing them into teak plaques and other keepsake items. And last, but not least; she keeps the Volunteer Department areas clean and in good order.

Perhaps her biggest takeaway from her time volunteering on board was meeting her husband and later hosting their wedding reception on the ship’s fantail.

Dedication is dedication and then there is Annette “Netter” Lancaster."

We sincerely thank you for your continued volunteerism in keeping the Battleship Missouri in ship shape, WE LOVE YOU NETTER! - USS Missouri Memorial Association

23 years ago today, on 22 June 1998, Iowa-class battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) arrives at her berth at Ford Island. This berth is roughly where the battleships MARYLAND (BB 46) and OKLAHOMA (BB 37) were moored on 7 December 1941. The 184 foot-long USS ARIZONA Memorial in the foreground spans the mid-portion of the sunken battleship USS ARIZONA (BB 39).

Midshipmen Aboard Missouri

For many, June means that school’s out for summer. For Naval Academy and NROTC midshipmen, June means that school’s out to sea. Every June, midshipmen—junior officers in training and future ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps—go off on professional training cruises that introduces them to a fully operational active-duty ship for their initial at-sea experience. ...
