| Additional information |
The USS Missouri (BB-63) is best known as the site of Japan's formal surrender on September 2, 1945, but the Marshall Islands had particular reason to commemorate her — the ship participated in the post-war Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946, conducted within Marshall Islands territory, displacing local populations whose return was ultimately deemed permanently impossible due to residual contamination.
