I remember when the final Jeopardy question asked where the signing of the Japanese surrender ending WW II occurred. All three contestants got it wrong. I imagine most here know it was on the USS Missouri.

Originally, the surrender was to have been on the USS South Dakota, but President Harry Truman changed it to the USS Missouri because he was from Missouri.
