U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) will deliver the keynote address September 2. The ship will feature an exhibit of rare artifacts from the proceedings including two pens used by Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz to sign the Declaration of Surrender. There will also be a pen used by Douglas MacArthur.
