 The decision to have "Missouri"s bow face the "Arizona" Memorial was intended to convey that "Missouri" watches over the remains of "Arizona" so that those interred within "Arizona"s hull may rest in peace.A gun from "Missouri" is paired with a gun formerly on "Arizona" at the Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza just east of the Arizona state capitol complex in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.It is part of a memorial representing the start and end of the Pacific War for the United States.
