After 3 months in Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, the USS Missouri has returned to it’s home and is open for visitors. The museum ship is again open daily (except Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day and New Years Day) from 9 AM to 5 PM. Detailed information on tours, tickets and how to get there is available HERE.

The battleship USS Missouri returned to it’s Ford Island berth after 12 weeks of repairs in dry dock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. The ship began the repair work, that cost about $18 million, on Oct. 14, 2009. The replacement of hull plates and the installation of a $1 million dehumidifying unit as well as regular maintenance and painting were part of the work done by shipyard workers. The “Mighty Mo” will be prepared to welcome visitors again, and is expected to have a formal grand reopening on January 30, 2010.
