Strength Through Vigilance Military capability helps our nation earn peace. For the men of Missouri, their days at sea are unfettered by the shorebound calendar of workday and holiday. Whether in the steamy world of a hot fireroom, on silent guard on the missile deck, or on a star-washed bridge, these men put to sea in a selfless defense of cherished ideals of liberty and freedom. The work of freedom is often danger- ous and it falls on the backs of young men in bell bottoms and combat fa- tigues, ready to sail into troubled wa- ters on short notice. A great deal de- pends on their actions. They are on call around the clock, visible proof of this nation ' s commitment to peace. General Omar Bradley summed it up when he said, Vigilance is the byword of living freedoms.

Strength Through Firepower Its potential might, silent for more than thirty years, Missouri ' s 16-inch guns are ready once again to answer the call for fire in defense of our nation ' s freedom. Missouri is a finely tuned, in- tricately complex weapons platform for the 80 ' s. In addition to the nine 16-inch guns and twelve five-inch guns, tooled more than four decades ago, there has been added the capability to use the long- range Tomahawk missile and the medi- um-range Harpoon missile. For self-de- fense, four Phalanx 20mm gatling guns have been added to throw out a wall of lead to stop any incoming air threat. USS Missouri ' s firepower is Sea- power . . and Seapower is our nation ' s anchor to windward. ■
