Mark Landskov, being on a Missouri class battleship, indeed Missouri herself, had to be a highlight of a great Navy career. You had to be aware every moment that you were on a piece of national history. Just looking at those great state ships was awesome and being part of a crew, indeed , the gun crew which was the core mission of the ship, had to be a thrill. I can't imagine the noise, smoke and recoil when just one gun fired, much less a salvo from a battery of three. Maybe some time you can talk to us about it.
