This year marks the 70th anniversary of the launch of the USS Missouri, and Hawaiian Airlines has partnered with the battleship, now docked at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, to launch a new promotional offer. From now until July 31, passengers traveling to Hawaii with Hawaiian Airlines can receive a discount coupon. This coupon entitles the bearer to a 50% discount on a Missouri Battleship double ticket (valued at $25 USD), valid until August 15.

The USS Missouri was launched into service on January 29, 1944, marking the beginning of this mighty battleship's history. It went on to serve in the Pacific War, the Korean War, and the Gulf War, and its deck became the site where World War II officially ended.

According to Hawaiian Airlines, the discount coupons are designed in postcard format, and the ticket package also includes a 35-minute guided tour in Chinese, allowing travelers to not only enjoy the discount but also gain a deeper understanding of the battleship’s history.
