AGAINST A BACKGROUND OF NEW'YORK'S WINKING SKYSCRAPER LIGHTS, THE MIGHTY MISSOURI ARRIVES
IN NEW YORK HARBOR TO TAKE PART IN NAVY DAY CEREMONIES
THROUGH a HEAVY FOG that delayed her arrival several hours, the
huge battleship Missouri, aboard whose decks the Japs surrendered,
moves majestically (top) past M mhaltan's skyscrapers. The same decks
that felt the tread of the vaiiqm. lied .laps will now resound to the foot
•teps of thousands of visitors during lire vessel’s stay in New York City. 1
An idea of her tremendous firepower can be seen (lower left'; in an over
bead view taken from a low-flying plane. Guns that poured thousands of
shells at the enemy point in every direction. Of key interest is the bronze
plaque (right) on the warship's toakwood deck that marks Hie spot
where ttie formal surrender was signed. ( International)
