U.S.
Navy Series Car #1 bears the silhouette of the Iowa Class Battleship
U.S.S. Missouri, BB-63. Commissioned in 1944, “The Mighty Mo”
saw service in most major campaigns between WW2 and the liberation
of Kuwait in 1991. Measuring 887 feet long with a beam of 108
feet, the Missouri was capable of cruising in excess of 30 knots.
Her place in history was secured on September 2, 1945, when Japan
surrendered to Allied Forces on her main deck, marking the end
of WW2.
