USS Missouri
After visiting the USS Arizona we went to Ford Island and viewed the USS Missouri.
For those of you that don't remember this is the ship that the Declaration of Surrender was signed on
ending World War II and was also active during Operation Desert Storm.
This is the view from the USS Missouri Memorial entrance looking towards the USS Arizona Memorial. Notice the lighter streak in the water from the USS Arizona Memorial to the USS Missouri this is the oil slick caused by the oil seeping out of the USS Arizona.
View lookng towards the back of the ship. You can see six of nine turrets.
USS Utah
After viewing the USS Missouri we headed to the other side of Ford Island and visited the USS Utah Memorial. In the picture below is the walkway out to view the Memorial.
Mike viewing the Memorial.
The Memorial is on your right..but I couldn't resist taking a pciture
of the view is was gorgeous out here today!
I know this is not a part of the Memorial, but this flower was gorgeous.
I believe it is called "The Bird of Paradise".
