The Mighty Mo is part pictorial part history of the USS Missouri. There are interesting parts such as the grounding in 1949 and her role in the mine sweeping of Wonsan Harbor during the Korean War but the rest is an impassioned plea by the authors to make the Missouri a monument. Later the Missouri was recommissioned into the Navy and served in the First Gulf War and then made into a monument. This book is easy to read but obviously a cheerleading piece of why the Missouri should be a monument.
