The Missouri was my favorite because I grew up there. I also at one point thought my father had served on it. I laugh now. He somehow lost his uniform in the laundry. He had to go over to the Missouri to get a replacement. That was his stint on the Missouri.
None the less, it’s still a nice factoid that my father had at one point been on the ship with that amazing history.
They had beautiful service uniforms, which is why khaki pants are still in vogue today.
