USS Missouri finally appears at its new home near the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It was the last battleship to sail the earth's oceans, and, of course, was the site of the signing of the Japanese surrender on the last day of World War II.

Naturally, I forgot to login for the above post, and quite predictably failed to attach the placemark. Here is a link to the USS Missouri Memorial site.
Check out the ship's history!

I hope I'm not wrecking the surprise for anyone, but you neglected to mention the > 30 warships including carriers directly south of the mercy ship - keep going down, and when you come to the coast at the end of the ships, theres a massive car yard.

The battleship is probably USS Iowa (Now moved to Suisan Bay, San Francisco)

Confused about USS Iowa in New Orleans. To my knowledge she was never there nor was she part of the James River Ghost Fleet, at least not while Keyhole's birds were overhead. She has been spotted by EV in numerous places. Lrae's post tells most of the story. Yes, she is in Suisan Bay now.

One night, exactly 80 years ago, an event happened here that became the largest peace time disaster in US Navy history. Only 23 sailors died, but the blow to the service was both enormous and disgraceful.

I don't suppose any of the survivors was named Smallwood?

"We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." - Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory), Discover magazine, Oct 1989.
"Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous (global warming) is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are..." -former Vice President Al Gore, Grist Magazine, May 9, 2006
