The Navy’s Retention Excellence Award, or “Golden Anchor,” is traditionally awarded to active-service naval vessels for meeting or exceeding crew retention goals. On June 11, 2005, Battleship Missouri became the first non-active ship to receive that honor. Battleship Missouri Memorial has hosted reenlistment ceremonies for sailors, soldiers, airmen, and marines since opening to the public in June 1999.
