After returning to Long Beach on 20 December, the battleship's crew began the long process of deactivating the battleship. ''Missouri'' decommissioned on 31 March 1992 and was layed up as part of the inactive fleet at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington. She remained part of the reserve fleet until 12 January 1995 when she was struck from the Navy list. Donated as a museum and memorial ship on 4 May 1998, she was later transferred to Pearl Harbor where she rests near the [[USS Arizona (BB-39)|''Arizona'']] memorial and is open for tours by the public.
