Not my pics, but here's a few of the Destroyer Escort my wifes uncle served on. They sunk 6 Japanese subs in 12 days in the Admiralty Islands then were hit by a kamikazi off Okinawa. He was on the uppermost 3" gun turret in front of the bridge when the kamikaze hit, they never found his cousin who was also serving on it.

I have been to the Missouri, and I have to say of all the things at Pearl Harbor this was my favorite part.

There are some off limit areas, but for the most part they give you free reign of the boat.

I spent close to 3 hours just wandering around looking at stuff. If you are ever at Pearl Harbor and want something to do, I would recommend this.
