It is a well-known fact that the signing ceremony of Japan"s surrender documents took place on the Missouri"s decks on September 3 1945. Following the end of the the Missouri was mothballed at the reserve fleet anchorage but was refitted with various modern equipment to rejoin the U.S. Navy in 1986.
