Happy Birthday Battleship Missouri.  The ship was christened Jan. 29, 1944, as World War II raged in the Pacific. On the Missouri’s deck on Sept. 2, 1945, as it was anchored in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese signed the documents of surrender that ended the war.  Actors portraying wartime heroes will participate in “living history” activities at the Oahu landmark. Bands, displays of military memorabilia and oral history presentations will round out the special events.  Visitors can also tour the Mighty Mo.  Admission is $22 for adults and $11 for children 4-12. Admission is free for Hawai`i residents.  USS Missouri Memorial, 63 Cowpens St., Honolulu.  8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information call (877) 644-4896 or visit www.ussmissouri.org.
