戦艦ミズーリの歴史

戦艦ミズーリ（BB-63）は、”マーティー・モー”の愛称で米国民に親しまれており、アメリカにおいては最後に完成し、最後に退役したため、最後の戦艦と呼ばれている。昭和16年1月6日に、ニューヨークブルックリンのニューヨーク海軍造船所で造船が開始された。3年後の昭和19年1月29日に進水式を迎え、その際命名者となったのが、当時ミズーリ州選出の上院議員であったハリー・トルーマンの愛娘マーガレット・トルーマンであった。

同昭和19年6月に就役した後、第二次世界大戦中は主に太平洋を中心に活動。昭和19年12月24日、パールハーバーに寄港、昭和20年に空母レキシントン率いる艦隊に加わり、同年2月19日からの硫黄島上陸作戦を支援した。また3月には沖縄での攻撃作戦、4月の沖縄上陸作戦に参加し、海上から砲撃を行う。4月11日、初めて特攻隊戦闘機（一機）の攻撃を受け、右舷甲板後部（フレーム165付近）に破損を生じた。

昭和20年8月29日、ミズーリの艦上にて、マッカーサー元帥率いる連合軍側と重光葵全権率いる日本政府代表との間で調印式が行われた。

神風特攻機衝突跡

戦艦ミズーリ右舷甲板後部（フレーム165付近）には神風特攻機衝突跡が今でも見ることができる。1945年（昭和20年）4月11日、沖縄海域にて上空葯30メートルから1機の神風特攻機がミズーリに向けて突入、右舷艦尾付近に衝突した・

降伏文書調印式会場

Great service for independent travelers The Wildlife Hawaii North Shore shuttle is an affordable alternative to taking an Uber for those without a rental car. The driver was prompt, helpful and professional. The Shuttle van was very comfortable and much nicer than a large tour bus. The shuttle picks you up at Waikiki hotels and drives you to various locations on the North Shore like Haleiwa Town and Waimea Valley falls and Botanical garden. You are given plenty of time at each stop to take your time and explore independently. Highly recommended!!

Comfortable Shuttle and Outstanding Service! We used the Wildlife Shuttle to get to the North Shore of Oahu and I highly recommend it. This was not a tour, just transportation. Communication with the company was excellent. When I made the mistake of scheduling to go on a Monday, I received a text telling me that the Waimea waterfall is closed on Monday. We switched to Friday, but then my husband had to see a doctor on Friday. Because it was medical, they offered a refund, but instead we went on their Sunday shuttle. That shuttle goes to Haleiwa and not to the Waimea Valley but it is easy to get from Haleiwa to the Waimea Valley on the #60 bus, so we did that. Our driver showed us where to get the bus and told us where he would be picking us up. I appreciate all of their flexibility while we changed plans two times. The van was very comfortable and we enjoyed seeing the Waimea Valley. These are great people to work with.

Polite, Friendly, On Time Used Wildlife Hawaii to get a shuttle up to the North Shore (Haleiwa). If you don’t have a car on O’ahu and are looking to visit Haleiwa this is a great shuttle company. Polite, friendly, on time!

Really awesome experience! We had an amazing experience booking a shuttle from Waikiki to North Shore! The driver was awesome and pointed out areas of the North Shore to us on the way. He also showed us a photography book! of We did not want to rent a car, so the shuttle was a great way to visit North Shore beaches and Haleiwa town without taking too much time on the public bus. We went during the slower season so there were still seats open on the shuttle, and we’re able to book last minute. I think the price is very reasonable for a round trip. Tip the driver well because they definitely deserve it.

A good day trip to Haleiwa. We took Wildlife Hawaii’s North Shore Shuttle to Haleiwa. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Resort and were picked up, on time at 11 am, on Koa Avenue. Our thanks to our driver, Akio, who would mention facts and point out places of interest on the way to the North Shore. Besides the shuttle. the company does a wildlife cruise and photographic tour. We arrived in Haleiwa around 12.15 pm and were dropped off near Haleiwa Harbour and picked up, at 5 pm in Haleiwa town. While waiting for the other customers Akio, who is a photographer and artist, chatted with us and showed us photos and artwork he made. We booked the shuttle before we went to Oahu and are very happy. Wildlife Hawaii provide a good and friendly service. Akio, you’re a star!

Great day out This saved us do much more time to explore the town of Haleiwa and the beach around from it, Lanikai where we swam with turtles!! The drive though costlier than the bus only took an hour to the North Shore and our driver pointed out items and places of interest along the way. We had a full 5 hours here but we got on a bus once dropped off for $3 each to the next beach where we swam before exploring Haleiwa. Visited Giovanni's shrimp truck for a snack, area was pretty busy then visited several shops before gelato and coffee before meeting back at the shuttle bus.

Totally Fantastic North Shore Experience Firstly, the booking process was easy. We were aware that the Pipeline Pro surfing contest was being held and we did not want to be dependent on the slow "The Bus" service. We booked a Wildlife Tour service. Pick up and drop off location options were available. I left my camera on the bus. I was able to contact the driver to secure it for pick up on our return trip. The driver drove in a safe manner and we felt safe as passengers. We were sitting directly behind the driver and were able to communicate with him throughout the journey. I would suggest that a microphone be installed so the driver could communicate with all passengers. Mahalo

Excellent service Excellent customer service, willing to go the extra distance and reasonably priced. Our driver (the owner of the business), was extremely helpful, we had him over two days and on both occasions he was fantastic. You can't go wrong

Aiko was my driver and he was simply one of the best examples of customer service. Simply so amazing sharing with us lots of facts about hawai’i on the drive and going out of his way to accommodate all of us. He made the experience very great and I highly recommend this company because of him. Thanks again mahalo!

Really great and professional shuttle service to the North Shore! Shout out to the driver who was really awesome, pointing out names of beaches and areas of interest in the North Shore. We were able to book a last minute trip and I think the price is extremely reasonable for a round trip. We went to Sunset Beach and Haleiwa town, with plenty of time to explore. 10/10!

Highly recommend! Great shuttle service to the North Shore. Easy to book and on time for pick up. Akio (?) was our driver and he was fantastic. Super enthusiastic, knowledgeable and personable, he added some nice humour, pointed out key locations along the way, and some recommendations at Haleiwa!
