On Sept. 2, 1945, General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Allied Commander, opened ceremonies for the formal surrender of the Japanese aboard the USS Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay. The ceremonies lasted for a half-hour and included such indelible images as the Japanese delegation led by Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu wearing a top hat and General Yoshijiro Umezu, Chief of the Army General Staff. Hundreds of crewmen aboard the Missouri watched the proceedings and the formal signing of the surrender documents.
