Strength Through Endurance Militarily, the United States operates from what may be termed a worldwide mobile defense. Missouri can easily meet that mobility requirement. Carry- ing 2.5 million gallons of fuel oil, Mighty Mo can steam half way around the world to meet commitments, travel- ing at speeds in excess of 30 knots. The shakedown cruise proved the self sufficiency of this weapons platform, capable of traveling unaccompanied around the world. Sustained operations are feasible as a result of its ability to carry large amounts of stores. Addition- ally, the machinery spaces are capable of making in-voyage repairs for both minor and major equipment. The physical strength of the ship rates it as one of the most survivable afloat with 13.5 inches of steel around the main armor belt and 17 inches of steel on the turrets and conning tower.

Strength Through Manpower Every Sailor and Marine, whatever his task, contributes directly and im- portantly to the defense of this nation. John Paul Jones said, Men mean more than guns in the rating of ships. Two hundred plus years of history un- der the keel haven ' t done a thing to change this assessment. And the task of every man aboard Missouri is the same as the men who sailed our men-o-war two centuries ago: To protect the free- doms which underlie the greatness of America. Aboard Missouri there are ongoing programs to help our Sailors and Ma- rines reach their full potential. By em- phasizing personal achievements and positive rewards we have succeeded in forming a crew prepared for forward- deployment on the front lines of free- dom.
