USS Missouri - Pearl Harbor - Honolulu, Hawaii in B&W

            USS Missouri (BB-63) (aka "Mighty Mo" or "Big Mo") is an Iowa-class battleship and was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named after the U.S. state of Missouri. Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and is best remembered as the site of the surrender of the Empire of Japan which ended World War II. She received a total of 11 battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, and was finally decommissioned on March 31, 1992. In 1998, she was donated to the USS Missouri Memorial Association and became a museum ship at her final and permanent  home at Pearl Harbor.

The USS Missouri was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 14 May 1971 for hosting the signing of the instrument of Japanese surrender that ended World War II.

Missouri was central to the plot of the film Under Siege (1992), and the ship was prominently featured in another movie, Battleship (2012).

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image.  Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6. Final conversion to black & white was completed within CS6 using Nik Silver Efex Pro II.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  ~Jeremiah 29:11
