Uss Missouri, Hawaii
August 2008


Poor Soviet Union.


On April 11, 1945 the USS Missouri was hit by a Japanese Zero.


The damage is still visible.


Their mess is called the Truman Line. Because President Truman once ate there.
I found that disappointingly obvious.


A plaque noting the spot over which Japan formally surrendered, thereby ending WWII.
Of course the ship was in Tokyo Bay then.


Now, watched over by eagles.
