USS Mississippi (BB-41)
USS ''Mississippi'' (BB-41/AG-128), a , was the third ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the 20th state, and the second battleship to carry the name. Commissioned in 1917, too late to serve in World War I, she served extensively in the Pacific in World War II, for which she earned eight battle stars. She was one of several pre-war battleships that participated in the Battle of Surigao Strait, the last battleship engagement in history.
After the war, her two sisters were quickly decommissioned and scrapped, but ''Mississippi'' continued to serve another decade as a weapons testing ship (AG-128). She played an important role in the development of the RIM-2 Terrier missile system.
After an attempt to acquire her as a museum ship failed, she was sold for scrap in 1956.
