Special

Missouri — American special premium Tier IX battleship.

USS Missouri, the third Iowa-class battleship, was laid down in 1941 and launched three years later. During World War II, she served in the Pacific Theater. On September 2, 1945, the Japanese Instrument of Surrender was signed on the battleship. Between 1950 and 1953, the ship participated in the Korean War. In 1984, the battleship was modernized—guided missiles were installed. In 1991, she participated in Operation Desert Storm. Missouri received 11 battle stars for her service; she is now a museum ship in Pearl Harbor.

USS Missouri is now preserved as a military museum ship in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Missouri was first released for sale worldwide on 7 December 2016, and was removed from sale on 28 February 2018 with the release of Update 0.7.2. It was brought back as a ship available for purchase with the Pacific War event in Update 0.10.7, albeit unlike the legacy variant, it was returned to the game as a ship earning only the standard amount of credits per battle for a tier IX premium ship.

Affectionately referred to as "Mighty Mo" by her crew while she was on active duty, USS Missouri comes to World of Warships as the game's first Tier IX premium. She has many similarities with her counterpart in the American battleship tree tech tree (Iowa) but with a few key differences.

The primary difference is that Missouri carries the Surveillance Radar  consumable instead of Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter . This completely changes her play style, allowing her to aggressively support capture areas and help her team's destroyers to win battles in those areas. She is especially dangerous to British cruisers and smoke-reliant cruisers, as the radar allows her to penetrate their smoke screens and catch them off guard with a well-aimed salvo of armor penetrating shells. In addition, her radar is a considerable threat to enemy DDs as she or her allies can deal considerable damage to any DD caught. Even if her radar doesn't catch them, the mere presence of it can zone out DDs, making it hard for them to launch torpedo attacks or deal effective gun damage. Other than the radar, her other combat characteristics are similar to Iowa, with powerful super-heavy AP rounds, high speed, and good anti-aircraft suite. She does have a thicker forward armor bulkhead, but — just like Iowa — it can still be reliably penetrated by Yamato’s 18.1-inch shells.

Missouri’s other significant difference from Iowa is her status as a Tier IX premium ship. She will earn a large number of credits, not uncommonly earning at least 1 million credits with economic bonuses. Players who purchased her prior to the 10.7 patch get access to an improved permanent Credit bonus of +40%, compared to +10% for other Tier IX ships, making her the undisputed best credit-earning ship in the game. Besides her income advantage, Missouri is a very effective American commander trainer due to her high exp earnings. Unfortunately Missouri is very difficult to obtain, only being available during limited-time events or if the player is lucky to draw her in a Santa container.

LittleWhiteMouse's Premium Ship Review: Missouri from the NA forums

Pros:

• Improved forward bulkhead protection over Iowa.
• Shares many of the same strengths as her sister ship Iowa, including:
• High base top speed of 33.0kts
• Powerful and accurate 16"/50mm guns
• Excellent AA by T9 BB standards
• Has access to the Surveillance Radar  consumable, active for 35 seconds with a 9.5 km range.
• Long lasting immunity period in her Damage Control Party 
• Low surface detection, achieving 12.7km surface detection with the proper build

Cons:

• Shares many of the same weaknesses as Iowa, including:
• Poor armor protection, including a vulnerable citadel
• Weak torpedo belt protection
• Unable to mount either Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter 
• Lacks the enhanced Repair Party of Iowa. Missouri only heals the standard 0.5% per second or 14% total per charge, compared to 0.66% per second or 18.48% total per charge for Iowa.
• Poor maneuverability, having the largest turning radius and second-worst rudder shift time among Tier IX BBs

Research

As a premium ship, Missouri has no module upgrades to research.

Optimal Configuration

Upgrades

The recommended upgrades for Missouri are as follows:

• Slot 1: This slot is most commonly filled with Main Armaments Modification 1 , though Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1 is a popular pick for captains who go for a full AA build with other upgrades and commander skills.
• Slot 2: Damage Control System Modification 1  OR Surveillance Radar Modification 1 . Damage Control System Modification 1 is the general go-to upgrade for most BBs and Missouri is no exception. Alternatively, Surveillance Radar Modification 1 extends her radar duration by ~7-8s, giving her more time to aim her second salvo or her allies to get their shots in.
• Slot 3: Main Battery Modification 2 is the recommended choice as it improves Missouri 's relatively slow turning turrets.
• Slot 4: Steering Gears Modification 1 is recommended and will reduce rudder shift time. Captains with fire problems could also consider Damage Control System Modification 2 , reducing the amount of time on fire and conserving hit points.
• Slot 5: With the Concealment Expert commander skill, Concealment System Modification 1 , and appropriate camouflage, Missouri can reduce her surface detection to 12.7km, on par with many cruisers.
• Slot 6: The recommended choice is Artillery Plotting Room Modification 2 as it will make Missouri one of the most accurate BBs at her tier. Alternatively Main Battery Modification 3 will reduce her reload by ~3 seconds, and can allow her to squeeze in a critical second shot in some tight situations.

Commander Skills

Like the US tech tree BBs, it is recommended for Missouri to build for full survivability. This maximizes her chance of surviving into the late game where she can put her radar and accurate guns to good use. Missouri captains should take the following core skills for her first 10 points:

1. Preventative Maintenance OR Gun Feeder
2. Grease the Gears
3. Adrenaline Rush
4. Concealment Expert

After taking her core skills, players should take Fire Prevention next to reduce damage taken by fires. Emergency Repair Expert to improve her heals; the extra heal improves her late-game potential. Finally, Basics of Survivability is useful for further reducing fire damage while also reducing flood damage.

Consumables

Missouri equips the following consumables:

• Slot 1: Damage Control Party 
• Slot 2: Repair Party 
• Slot 3: Surveillance Radar 

The major difference between Missouri and Iowa are found in their consumables: Missouri trades her plane based consumables for access to a 9.5km 35s Surveillance Radar . Very few battleships can mount radar. In addition, Missouri only carries the standard version of Repair Party  unlike the improved version found with the US tech tree BBs.

Camouflage

As a premium ship, Missouri comes with Default permanent camouflage and a set of permanent combat bonuses.

Signals

Missouri’s signal loadout should focus on maximizing her survivability. India Delta (), India Yankee (), and Juliet Yankee Bissotwo () will help with this. Sierra Mike () is worthy of consideration for captains who enjoy flexing Missouri’s 33+ knot speed, while November Foxtrot () and November Echo Setteseven () will help reduce her consumable cooldowns and further enhance her AA suite.

History

Design

The Iowa-class battleships were designed in 1938 when the U.S. Navy proposed a new class of battleships that were to develop on the lessons learned from the development and construction of the North Carolina-class and South Dakota-class of battleships. Of exceptional concern were the Kongo-class battleships that were able to use speed to harass convoys and outgun fast aircraft carrier escorts, as well as the refusal of Japan to disclose details regarding the construction of the Yamato-class battleships. Wishing to have an apt and equal response, the construction of the Iowa-class was approved. These factors culminated in the U.S., Britain, and France invoking the "Escalator Clause" of the second naval treaty, which permitted 16-inch guns and 45,000 long tons standard displacement.

With the emergence of aircraft carriers and the need to protect them from surface threats, the concept of “fast battleships” came into prominence; ships designed with the speed and the endurance to keep pace with carrier groups and serve as a major deterrent to surface attack. To fulfill this role, the design called for a top speed of 33 knots from 8 boilers connected to 4 turbines; each turbine to a propeller shaft. This layout produced a total of 230,000 shaft horsepower. Furthermore, the ship had a greater waterline length-to-beam ratio, making the ship longer than its predecessors, as well as notably faster.

The main armament of the Iowa class — while using rifles of the same diameter of 406mm as preceding ships — were longer than the rifles on the South Dakota-class (increased from 45 calibers to 50 calibers) and therefore have the distinction of being the largest rifles mounted on any US warship to date. This increase in rifle length resulted in greater distance for expanding gases in the chamber to propel the projectile, which equated to higher muzzle velocity, greater range, and greater armor-penetration capabilities than preceding rifles. Furthermore, the Iowa-class had a comprehensive suite of secondary and anti-aircraft guns due to the design emphasis of increased protection against air attacks; the armament systems were supplemented with state-of-the-art radar-based fire control systems (Missouri mounted the Mark 27 Fire Control Radar set).

The Iowa-class battleships had the characteristic “all-or-nothing” armor scheme seen in preceding American battleships, with the thickest armor around the citadel between Turrets A and Turret C. The outer hull plate was 38mm Special Treatment Steel (STS) and the side armor of 307mm was angled at 19-degrees inwards in order to confer greater armor thickness for little additional weight; this was especially advantageous against shells from longer range. The hull has a triple bottom under the citadel to protect against underbottom explosions. The armor scheme of the Iowa class was largely the same as the preceding South Dakota class, which offered protection from 406mm/45 rifles firing 1,016 kg Mark 5 shells from ranges between 16,000 - 27,000 meters. As the second pair of Iowa-class battleships built, Missouri and Wisconsin had some armor differences from the first pair, Iowa and New Jersey: forward bulkhead armor thickness increased to 368mm to better protect against head-on rounds. This is noteworthy when facing enemies bow-on in World of Warships.

USS Missouri was the third ship of the Iowa-class, laid down at the Brooklyn Naval Yard on 6 January 1941, launched on 29 January 1944, and after a few months of sea trials, commissioned on 11 June 1944. Missouri has the distinction of being the last battleship commissioned into the US Navy.

Service

Missouri was completed and launched in June 1944. She would spend five months in trials before sailing to San Francisco where she would be destined for a fleet flag. Leaving in December 1944, Missouri arrived in the Caroline Islands where she joined Task Force 58 in January 1945. From January to March 1945, TF 58 would conduct raids against Tokyo, Yokohama, and Iwo Jima. March 1945 would see Missouri again taking part in raids against Japan itself. On the return trip, Missouri provided naval gunfire support for the invasion of Okinawa through the month of May. While off Okinawa, Missouri was struck by one Kamikaze and another scored a near miss. Both attacks resulted in minor damage.

In May 1945, Missouri became the flagship of the Third Fleet joining Task Force 38 in further support of the Okinawa Campaign and additional strikes against Japan in June. Other following raids would constitute the remainder of Missouri’s wartime service, and shore bombardment became commonplace. On the 2 September 1945, the official surrender of Japan was signed aboard Missouri while she was anchored in Tokyo Bay. Missouri would then sail for New York. She remained in active service after the war, the only battleship to do so, and participated in training exercises through 1949.

In August 1950, Missouri was re-based to Japan in preparation for coastal operations during the Korean War. Missouri spent the remainder of the year and a portion of the following year providing fire support for landing troops. Following this, she briefly returned to Norfolk Navy Yard to receive refits before returning to Korea in late 1952. She continued coastal operations until she again returned to Norfolk Navy Yard for additional refits in early 1953. Following the completion of her modifications, Missouri conducted training operations through February 1955 before being placed in the Pacific Reserve Fleet where she would remain until her reactivation in 1984.

In October 1984, the battleship was towed to the docks at Long Beach, California where she would undergo a major refit before her re-entry into service. During this overhaul, she received Tomahawk and Harpoon missile systems. Missouri was officially recommissioned on 10 May 1986 and joined her sister ships in conducting coastal operations during the Gulf War, most notably conducting bombardments near Kuwait City. Following the end of the Cold War, Missouri was again decommissioned and stricken on 12 January 1995. She was placed back in the Pacific Reserve Fleet in Bremerton, Washington until 1998 when she was towed to Ford Island, Hawaii in preparation to make her a museum ship. In 1999, Missouri — now adjacent to the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor — opened to tourists and continues her service today as a historical reminder of the end of the battleship era.

Historical Accuracy

• Missouri is depicted in her Korean War configuration. Her paint scheme had no camouflage by the 1950s.
• Missouri’s antenna and rangefinders were designed in a wrong shape
• Missouri’s aft end catapult is missing, since she is unable to mount either Spotting Aircraft  or Catapult Fighter .
