USS Missouri (BB-63), 1986. Large harbor tugs assist the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) into port for recommissioning. In the background is the San Francisco skyline.
The USS Missouri has been described as the most famous battleship ever built.
Nicknamed "Mighty Mo," the Missouri was an Iowa-class battleship that saw combat in World War II, the Korean War and the Gulf War.
Before finally being decommissioned in 1992, the Mighty Mo received three battle stars for its service in World War II, five for the Korean War, as well as two Combat Action Ribbons and several commendations and medals for the Gulf War.
And throughout the Mighty Mo's long service, the warship was barely scratched.
Here's the story of the Missouri.
