We went on the Missouri in April. We paid a little extra and took the guided
tour. Our guide was a retired CPO. He was a wealth of information and we
enjoyed the whole thing very much. We saw 70% of the ship including many
interior compartments. He told us that they plan on having the entire ship
open to the public by December 7th, 2000. Many delays were encountered
because of OSHA requirements (Like one that requires all areas open to the
public need fire sprinklers).
Tour tickets are purchased at the Pacific Submarine Memorial/Museum next to
the USS Arizona Memorial building. It's well worth it.
