When the British ship Titanic steamed out of Southampton bound for New York on April 10, 1912, it was the largest and most sumptuous luxury liner that had ever sailed. It was a monument to the promise of technology and to Victorian elegance, with magnificent oriental carpets and crystal chandeliers. It was thought to be unsinkable.

Confidence was so high that the owners and builders rejected plans calling for as many as 64 lifeboats. Although the number of lifeboats on the Titanic (20) exceeded government standards, the boats would only accommodate about half of the 2,228 people aboard. In one of history's great ironies, the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, after colliding with an iceberg off the banks of Newfoundland. More than 1,500 people died in the accident.

USS Missouri (BB-63) in 1950-55, During these years, Missouri was part of the Atlantic Fleet. However, she made two Korean War combat tours, one in 1950-51 and another in 1952-53, serving as Seventh Fleet flagship on both occasions and providing major caliber gunfire support to United Nations forces. She was also employed as a training ship for Naval Academy Midshipmen, carrying them on a number of visits to European ports.

In August 1954, Missouri was transferred to the Pacific Coast to be inactivated. She decommissioned on 26 February 1955 at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington, where she remained in reserve for the next three decades.
