Lyrics:

(Chorus)
Oh, the Missouri, mighty and strong,
Sails the seven seas, where she belongs,
From the depths of the ocean to the bright blue sky,
We’ll sing of the battleship, our spirits high!

(Verse 1)
Born in wartime, back in ‘44,
Symbol of freedom, in the great world war,
From Pacific's waves to Atlantic's tide,
The Missouri's name, we wear with pride.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Missouri, mighty and strong,
Sails the seven seas, where she belongs,
From the depths of the ocean to the bright blue sky,
We’ll sing of the battleship, our spirits high!

(Verse 2)
She faced fierce foes, with guns ablaze,
In the heat of battle, through smoky haze,
With a heart of iron and a crew so brave,
The Missouri sailed, the seas to save.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Missouri, mighty and strong,
Sails the seven seas, where she belongs,
From the depths of the ocean to the bright blue sky,
We’ll sing of the battleship, our spirits high!

(Verse 3)
On her decks was signed the end of war’s strife,
A moment of peace, bringing hope to life,
Japan’s surrender, on that fateful day,
The Missouri stood proud, in history's bay.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Missouri, mighty and strong,
Sails the seven seas, where she belongs,
From the depths of the ocean to the bright blue sky,
We’ll sing of the battleship, our spirits high!

(Verse 4)
Now she rests in Pearl Harbor, a monument true,
To the brave and the bold, to the red, white, and blue,
Her legacy lives on, in the tales we share,
The Missouri, beyond compare.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Missouri, mighty and strong,
Sails the seven seas, where she belongs,
From the depths of the ocean to the bright blue sky,
We’ll sing of the battleship, our spirits high!

(Outro)
So raise up your voices, let the shanty ring,
Of the battleship Missouri, let’s all proudly sing,
For in our hearts, she sails forevermore,
The mighty Missouri, our ship to adore!

listening to this reminded me of another warship that dosent get much recognition. TCG Yavuz was the last and only NATO battlecruiser, built in 1914 and scrapped in 1973
