 The flag was displayed in a wood-framed case secured to the bulkhead overlooking the surrender ceremony.Another U.S. flag was raised and flown during the occasion, a flag that some sources have indicated was in fact that flag which had flown over the U.S. Capitol on 7 December 1941.This is not true; it was a flag taken from the ship's stock, according to "Missouri"s commanding officer, Captain Stuart "Sunshine" Murray, and it was "...just a plain ordinary GI-issue flag".
