It rare to get an private audience with Mighty Mo ... usually she is full of tourists ..., if you stand on her decks and listen carefully .., you can hear and feel her breathe .. .
I see you .., I feel you .., I hear you ...

Very cool image. I was on the Iowa once here in Long Beach / San Pedro, CA. They were doing a lot of work on her still.
Are you to say you had the USS Missouri to yourself? Lucky bastard! Were you allowed to roam her?
I'm not trying to one-up you, but I once had the Little Big Horn battlefield all to my lonesome.
I kind of get what you say about "hearing and seeing" her breathe.
Did you see the spot surrender papers were signed?
Nice shot of an iconic war ship.
Craig.j.tucker .. I live 15 minutes from Pearl Harbor .. I still go to the surrender spot and look at the surrender documents ,..like Punch Bowl of the Pacific .., I can get in at 05:30 am ... do my photography and leave ..., but again .., you have to know someone to get anything to yourself ..
A great Image. Yes I can feel, smell, and hear it all the way to my heart.

I was stationed at Pearl in WW2-not during the bombing, but alternately a year later in Waipahu overlooking a rolled over battleship and in Aia Heights on a mountain- overlooking the entire Harbor (LIKE A DIORAMA)--sometimes it was eerie--other times a sense of peace--on V J night with all the dozens of ships guns being fired and searchlights rolling through the sky it was like Coney island in celebration--the war was over-- It was the last war that was fought for any decent reason-I will be 95 in 2 weeks
