Yes Marion this is very cool, thanks for sharing it with us! I would like to see this memorial someday. Here is a picture I took of the "bookends" on our vacation to Hawaii last year, from the Pearl Harbor Visitors Center.
The little gal that gave us our tour aboard "The Mighty Mo" told us an interesting bit of trivia about the ship I hadn't heard before. She explained that the Missouri was 108 feet at its widest point and the Panama Canal was only 109 feet wide, only 1 foot of clearance! Almost needless to say but after every passage through the canal a touch up to the paint job was needed on the old girl.
