Worldwide Navy Chiefs are pulling together during their 110th Anniversary year in order to establish the 1st Ever Chiefs Museum onboard the Last and Most Famous Battleship...USS MISSOURI (BB 63) moored at Ford Island on the island of Oahu Hawaii. Missouri is currently watching over 1,102 entombed shipmates in USS ARIZONA (BB 39) ......which is considered by all....the Alpha and Omega of World War II.
