This is the history of the USS Missouri, the world's most famous battleship, as told by the people who know her best --- the officers and men who served aboard her. These men are the eyewitnesses to fifty years of exciting and riveting history, from the Mighty Mo's construction in New York, to the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay which ended WWII; from the bombardments of the Korean War, to Gulf War missile attacks, to her final farewell at Pearl Harbor. Two things set this work apart: the intimate nature of the storytelling elevates it above the typical work which simply glorifies war, and; since it was filmed entirely aboard the USS Missouri, it offers a rare insider's look at areas of the ship off limits to the general public. This truly unique and special documentary was produced by Galloping Pictures of Bainbridge Island, Washington, and directed by Christopher Davenport, whose talent shines through in this important work
