The
USS Missouri (BB-63) was the third ship of the Iowa-class and was
commissioned in 1944. During the Pacific War, she supported attacks on
Kyushu and Okinawa and then participated in actions such as the
bombardment of Muroran in Hokkaido. It is a well-known fact that the
signing ceremony of Japan’s surrender documents took place on the
Missouri’s decks on September 3, 1945. Following the end of the Korean
War, the Missouri was mothballed at the reserve fleet anchorage but was
refitted with, various, modern equipment to rejoin the U.S. Navy in
1986. Following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, the Missouri and her sister
ship Wisconsin were deployed to the Middle East and she helped conduct
the first firing of Tomahawk cruise missiles in combat during the
opening stages of the Gulf War.
The Tamiya model kit faithfully depicts the Missouri as she appeared in
1991. New parts have been tooled to update the kit.
