These included the sister ships BB-61 Iowa and BB-62 New Jersey. The most famous Iowa class battleship was, however, the BB-63 Missouri. 212,000 HP enabled the heavily armed colossus a top speed of 33 knots. The main weapon consisted of nine 16" guns distributed across three treble towers (2 front ship and 1 eightship) with a maximum range of up to 40 km. The Iowa-class ships were 270.4 m long and had a relatively narrow hull of a maximum of 33 m, so they were able to pass through the Panama Canal without any further problems. The USS Missouri was put into service in 1944 and participated in numerous operations in the Pacific War. On September 2, 1945, the Treaty of Unconditional Capitulation of Japanese Armed Forces was signed aboard USS Missouri. With the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950, the USS Missouri was deployed with its sister ships for fire support and banished to the reserve service in 1955. In 1986, the ship was completely renovated, modernised and equipped with the latest state of the art of weapons technology. In the Gulf War in 1991, the Missouri was deployed one last time and went into well-deserved retirement in 1993 after nearly 50 years in service.
