Vendor: Battleship Missouri
Product: Battle Stations Tour
Description: "General Quarters, General Quarters, All Hands Man Your Battle Station." When this alarm was sounded on board the Mighty Mo, all hands stopped whatever they were doing and rushed to their battle stations while hatches were secured and the ship was prepared for action. This exciting new tour focuses on this most important aspect of life at sea for every officer and battleship sailor aboard. Your experienced guide will make it all come alive, from World War II in the Pacific with kamikaze attacks off Okinawa, through two frigid, arduous tours of duty during the Korean War and into the modern era of war in the Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. You will stand at the Captain's battle station on the bridge with its 17 inches of armor plating, peer into the massive 5 and 16-inch gun turrets and learn how they were manned, aimed, loaded and fired. View the missile decks, the flight deck and the modern Combat Engagement Center (CEC) where all weapons systems, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, CIWS Gatling guns and remotely powered vehicles (RPV) were monitored, controlled and tracked during Operation Desert Storm. This tour will inspire even the most experienced Navy personnel and excite all who participate, even those who have never before stepped foot on a battleship.
The Battleship Missouri Memorial is a living museum that offers guests a glimpse into the past and the experience of being aboard a ship that is alive with history as well as modern technology. The Missouri educates and entertains with exhibits, memorabilia and activities that give you a sense of what life at sea was like aboard the world's last and most celebrated battleship.
