We had the chance to tour the battleship USS Missouri while in Pearl Harbor.

The top tower was being renovated/repainted so we couldn’t get into it but everything else was super impressive. The gun turrets were huge…our tour guide told us that if you had been on deck when they fired there would be nothing left of you, literally.

Our tour guide was phenomenal, I wish I remembered his name! He was like an encyclopedia!

I don’t have Snapchat but saw this and it made me giggle.

The Missouri began service towards the end of WWII and it saw several tours through the decades. It was modernized in the 80s and ended service in Desert Storm. In 1998 the battleship began its career as a museum. I love the way they left the ship, as it had served in the early 90s. This “Plan of the Day” was posted to the bulletin board in one of the hallways. Make sure to get your breakfast bright and early!

Andy checking things out. The ship was like a city at sea complete with a bakery, soda shop, doctors and dentist offices, a post office and more.

And you think YOUR cubicle is cramped!

So cute :)

Itty bitty living space. I can’t even imagine spending weeks and months down there.
