Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, Pacific Northwesterners have been able to visit the ship and stand on the decks where the surrender papers were signed in Tokyo Bay signifying the end to the Second World War.The "Might Mo" has sailed to it's final destination in Pearl Harbor, the site of the beginning of the United State's involvement in World War II.
