如今BB-63.主力艦16英吋的巨炮,早已封存,不再發射震耳欲聾的炮彈,也沒有硝煙四散的畫面出現,她只有在黑夜裡靜靜的停泊在夏威夷的軍港內,殘而不廢的渡過餘生,雖然美國海軍極力保留,
4艘主力艦,希望留下來到第三次世界大戰時,再度啟用,發揮她強大的戰鬥力,尤其是她的16英吋的巨炮.

27 October 1945: President Harry S. Truman joins Commander in Chief of the Atlantic Fleet ADM Jonas H. Ingram and FADM William D. Leahy, Chief of Staff to the President in examining the commemorative plaque marking the spot on the deck of Missouri (BB-63) upon which the Japanese surrender treaty was signed. In this address to a New York City audience, Truman pays tribute to the four million men and women in the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard and to the ships which carried them to victory in World War II. The President describes the need of four principal military tasks and the fundamentals of American foreign policy—all of which are directed not toward war or conquest, but rather toward a lasting peace.

1945年8月15日日本宣布願意投降後,9月2日在道格拉斯·麥克阿瑟將軍的監督下梅津美治郎在停泊於東京灣的密蘇里號戰艦上簽屬《降伏文書》,自此正式宣告日本願意無條件投降。中華民國代表徐永昌將軍於照片中右上角左起第2名.並列英國,法國,蘇聯等國代表受降典禮.第二次世界大戰結束後50週年紀念日.19950903.由美國國防部舉辦隆重的紀念日活動,再度邀請當年參加日本東京灣密蘇里戰艦BB-63.時的各國代表,可惜的是中華民國海軍並沒有派員參加紀念會,而徐永昌將軍據說早已失去聯絡也包括後代子孫,令人不甚噓唏,堂堂的中華民國海軍的衰敗,淪落到臺灣省,依賴美國的破舊軍艦混日子,筆者之前hsr 123. blog.曾經詳細報導此一事件.

根據美國海軍專家推算預估中國海軍055D.導向飛彈驅逐艦的反艦飛彈,只需要3枚,就可以擊沉BB-63.(56000噸)此類的大型的美國海軍主力艦.雖然BB-63.曾經改裝加設戰斧巡弋飛彈及漁叉飛彈,但是僅限於對岸攻擊,B-63.沒有反艦飛彈自衛,很容易被中國海軍055D.的反艦導向飛彈YJ-18 anti-ship missiles擊沉的.BB-63.發射巡弋飛彈.
The warship has eight eight-unit vertical launch systems (VLS) in the front deck and six eight-unit VLS in the middle, a total of 112 VLS units, the most among Chinese destroyers, reported Ordnance Industry Science Technology, a Xian-based periodical on the national defense industry.
These VLS units use the latest standard design of the PLA Navy, giving them both hot launch and cold launch abilities, the Ordnance Industry Science Technology report said. A hot launch means a missile ignites in its cell, and a cold launch means a missile is ejected from the launch cell before it ignites.
Missiles armed within the VLS units include air defense missiles, anti-ship missiles and anti-submarine missiles, according to the report. Some say that the ship may also have land-attack missiles.
In the air defense department, the ship is expected to be installed with missiles including HHQ-9B long-range air defense missiles and HQ-16B mid-range air defense missiles, Ordnance Industry Science Technology reported, noting that it could also be equipped with a type of mid-close-range surface-to-air missile developed from the DK-10 missile. With regards to warship-to-warship combat, the Type 055 could be equipped with YJ-18 anti-ship missiles, the report said.

只如今中國海軍日益壯大強盛,他們自行設計建造各式各樣的軍艦使用,從護衛艦,驅逐艦,核子潛艦與常規潛水艇,倆棲攻擊艦,運輸艦,醫療船,航空母艦等等,都加緊腳步追趕,美國海軍,其中令人驚訝的是中國海軍實力已經是全球第二名,尤其是055D.導向飛彈驅逐艦,讓美國海軍生畏,不敢與之正面接觸作戰.因為055D.驅逐艦的純直發射系統的各型飛彈及反艦導彈系列在500公里外,就可以鎖定並攻擊摧毀美國海軍的任何艦艇,不像是第二次世界大戰期間敵我雙方海軍,必須正面視距內,互相開火射擊,以艦炮為主力互相開炮撕殺,拼個你死我活的戰爭遊戲.現代的科技發達,中國的火箭軍的DF-21/D.DF-26.DF-17.等導向飛彈,可以封鎖打擊太平洋第一島鏈與第二島鏈內的美國海軍艦艇,尤其是航空母艦,使得美國小心謹慎,應付未來的中國海軍與美國海軍的太平洋大決戰.

當年服役於BB-63.BATTLESHIP.MISSIOURI.的老兵,經由海軍總部協調聯絡,將他們逐一邀請,重返BB-63.參觀見證他們當年英勇作戰的伙伴(BB-63),見證了老兵不死只是凋零.
Since opening in January 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial has attracted more than 9-million visitors from around the world with a fascinating tour experience showcasing the USS Missouri’s unique place in history.

BB-63.曾經徹底的翻修重新,除鏽,刷油漆,更換假板船艙甲板,船艙內的各房間消毒,除蟲害,有些重要文件,物品,重新檢查封純存,如艦長辦公室,臥室及作戰指揮室,甚至於廚房,水手餐廳等都重新整修,日後重新開放參觀,也可以訂購特別餐飲,在BB-63.內食用,增加懷念的氣氛,BB-63.在第二次世界大戰期間為攻打日本海軍的主力戰艦之一,她特別得留念的事件就是19450902.於日本東京灣內由麥克阿瑟將軍及盟軍代表,接受日本的投降典禮,這樣一來重要的事件,就是於BB-63主力艦上舉辦,意義深遠重大,直到今日美國海軍都要年度撥款經費,維修BB-63.,讓她繼續服役,船艦的4座燃氣輪機,依然可以運轉發電使用,有海軍專門工作人員負責操作,保養,維修,以單日雙號輪流運轉方式進行,否則鹹濕的海水及海風就無情的將,BB-63.侵蝕殆盡,並不是飛機大炮炸彈的摧毀.,根據多位退役老兵的回憶說話,他們懷念那震耳欲聾的炮聲與聞到硝煙及浪花拍打船身搖晃時戰爭場景,另他們終身難忘.
韓戰結束後,密蘇里號返國維修,最後在1955年退役。此後密蘇里號一直在港口封存,直到1981年,雷根當選新任美國總統,並提出「六百艦隊」擴軍計劃,大規模擴充海軍,以壓抑蘇聯。密蘇里號因而重新復修,並進行大規模現代化改建,包括裝設戰斧巡弋飛彈及魚叉飛彈發射器,以及方陣近迫武器系統。1986年密蘇里號重返現役,並進行一次環球航行,以紀念80年前老羅斯福派遣大白艦隊航行世界。1987兩伊戰爭期間,密蘇里號參與摯誠意志行動,協助保護科威特的油船免遭兩伊攻擊。1990年波斯灣戰爭爆發,密蘇里號亦被派到波斯灣,為登陸的陸戰隊提供炮火支援,並轟擊伊拉克的軍事設施。
密蘇里號在1992年退役,並於1995年除籍。1998年海軍將密蘇里號捐贈作博物館艦,並在同年轉移至珍珠港亞利桑那號戰艦殘骸旁邊,成為密蘇里號戰艦紀念館以作紀念。2009年,密蘇里號曾短暫到珍珠港船塢維修,並在2010年回到原停泊點開放參觀。
