At this time, Secretary of the Navy Forrest gave Truman an idea: MacArthur presided over the signing ceremony, signed on behalf of the Allies as the supreme commander of the Allies, and Nimitz signed on behalf of the United States. The surrender ceremony was held on the battleship Missouri, the flagship of the US Navy's Third Fleet. The Missouri is one of the largest warships in the United States, named after President Truman's hometown. He has participated in many major battles in the Pacific War with outstanding achievements. As soon as the proposal was put forward, it was immediately praised by Truman.
On September 2 1945, it was carried out on board the Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay. At 8 o'clock, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, General Nimitz, and the Supreme Commander of the Pacific Allied Forces, General MacArthur, and other representatives of the US and victorious countries boarded the ship one after another. At 8: 56, Shigemitsu Mamoru, the representative of Japan's Foreign Minister, and General Umezu Yoshijiro, the representative of Japan's base camp, boarded the Missouri. At 9: 02, the signing ceremony began. At this time, journalists from all over the world sent the news that the Japanese representative signed and surrendered on the USS Missouri, and the World War II ended with the victory of the allied forces to all parts of the world. The battleship Missouri has since become famous all over the world and will go down in history forever.
