Since January, our teams have been hard at work restoring the Veranda Deck as part of our 2026 preservation projects. Preserving the Battleship Missouri and sharing her place in history is at the heart of our mission, and projects like these help ensure her story lives on for future generations.

We've been documenting every step of the restoration process, and despite weather-related delays in Hawai'i, we've made great progress during the first half of the year.

Stay tuned for more updates. We can't wait to share the completed deck soon.

Our Artifact of the Month honors Military Spouse Appreciation Day: the USS Missouri Officer’s Wives Club scrapbook.

From 1985 to 1992, the Club maintained this two foot tall, sixteen-pound scrapbook to document milestones for the ship and preserve memories of the crew and their families.

The pages are filled with invitations to Christmas parties, photos from club meetings and family days, and mementos from long-awaited homecoming celebrations.

It offers wonderful insight into life at home during the ship’s modern era of service and into the experiences of those “holding down the fort.”

The scrapbook was donated to our archive by Terry Doong, the last president of the OWC and wife of CDR Larry Doong, the ship’s last Chief Engineer.

We salute the families whose love and sacrifice are woven into the legacy of the USS Missouri. Thank you for your service.

✅ Preservation work on Turret 1 gun barrels complete!

Using needle guns and grinders, crews stripped away layers of old paint and corrosion down to bare metal before beginning the recoating process. The barrels then received rust inhibitors, primer coats, and a fresh haze gray top coat to help protect and preserve them for years to come. Restoration efforts also included work on the wooden tampions, after damage caused by carpenter bees and weather exposure.

Future preservation work on the gun barrels of Turret 2 is currently being planned as part of the Battleship Missouri Memorial’s ongoing restoration efforts.

These ongoing projects help ensure the iconic guns of the USS Missouri remain protected as lasting symbols of the ship’s history and legacy.

On October 6, 1986, the Mighty Mo made history once again as she arrived at Garden Island dockyard in Sydney, Australia to participate in the Royal Australian Navy's 75th Fleet Review.

Assisted by tugboats, the Missouri approached the Fitting Out Wharf, creating unforgettable memories for all who watched. This iconic moment was featured on the cover of Naval Historical Review magazine in March 1987.

Today, we celebrate a remarkable milestone: Mr. Don "Beano" Roberts’ 97th birthday!

Born in Upstate New York, Mr. Roberts served aboard the USS Missouri from 1951 to 1952 as Hospital Corpsman Third Class (HM3). His journey took him from training as a nurse at Bethesda Naval Hospital to serving his country, and eventually to Amelia, Florida, where he calls home. His son David shares that Mr. Roberts’ time aboard the Mighty Mo shaped his life in ways that endure to this day.

Today, we are honored to welcome Mr. Roberts back to his ship for his birthday. Please leave your birthday wishes below and help us celebrate a true hero!
