Nice presentation, SAM, Snippy.
Back in '56 or 57, as a paperboy, I won a trip to Seattle. We took the ferry to Bremerton and went aboard the Mighty Mo. I have vivid memories of standing on the deck reading the surrender plaque.
During my years in the Navy, I served aboard the USS PIEDMONT (AD-17), a Destroyer Tender. The PIEDMONT was one of the ships present in Tokyo Bay during the surrender.
Glad that the Mighty Mo didn't fall prey to the scrap metal heap.
