I know he's a good cook--
:03:03
He's more than a good cook. You have
no idea. Now let him be, XO.

:03:08
Yes, sir.
:03:15
Fifty years ago today...
:03:17
... the infamous Japanese attack
destroyed the Pacific fleet...

:03:20
...here in Pearl Harbor.
:03:22
Today, in honor of those who died,
the USS Missouri returns.

:03:26
Built to avenge Pearl Harbor,
she did.

:03:29
Days after we dropped the bomb
on Hiroshima...

:03:32
...Japan surrendered
on the Missouri's deck...

:03:35
...ending World War ll.
:03:38
The ship fired
the first shots of the Gulf War.

:03:41
Her powerful 16-inch guns
destroyed Iraqi bunkers.

:03:45
Her Tomahawk missiles rocketed deep
into the heart of Baghdad.

:03:48
The fastest and most powerful
dreadnought ever to sail the seas....

:03:55
Where's your tattoo?
:03:56
Where I got it, you don't want to see.
:03:59
Now the ship will be decommissioned.
:04:02
President Bush is paying final tribute
to the ship...

:04:05
...and her great history.
:04:07
Did you hear the joke about Andre
and Beaudreau hunting on the bayou?

:04:13
Where're the guns, Druillet?
:04:16
That's about right.
:04:17
In the end...
:04:19
... this unity of purpose....
:04:20
These ceremonies not only remember war,
they celebrate peace.

:04:24
The President ordered the removal
of all Tomahawk cruise missiles...

:04:28
...from U. S. surface ships.
:04:29
Tomorrow the ship embarks for
San Francisco for her final voyage.

:04:33
Her weaponry will be removed,
dismantled, and never fired again.

:04:38
The vessel will then
take her place in naval history.

:04:43
We will gain the inevitable triumph,
so help us God.

:04:50
Look at the money spent
on this photo opportunity.

:04:55
Ready to go, sir.
:04:58
Very well, let's single up.
