Battleship Missouri Screens Special ‘Five-0’ Episode

Starting this Saturday, December 7 through December 13, visitors to the Battleship Missouri Memorial will enjoy a special sneak preview of the ‘Hawaii Five-0’ episode that will later air nationwide on Friday, December 13, 9PM ET/PT, on the CBS Television Network.

Titled ‘Hoâ€˜onani Makuakane’ (‘Honor Thy Father’), the episode focuses on the attempted murder of a Pearl Harbor veteran that leads ‘Five-0’ to use decades old evidence to investigate a deadly crime committed within the internment camps holding Americans of Japanese ancestry on Oahu during World War II. A remembrance ceremony using actual World War II veterans was filmed at the Battleship Missouri Memorial.

The ‘Hawaii Five-0’ episode in its entirety will be projected onto a large video screen in the Missouriâ€™s educational classroom, which is air-conditioned and located one deck below the main deck next to the Mess Hall.
