Pearl Harbor shipyard workers refloated the Battleship Missouri today as repair work on the vessel continues.

The ship was towed to drydock Oct. 14 and has been undergoing repairs since then. Today the ship was floated and moved four feet on the blocks supporting the keel so workers can paint the area covered by the blocks.
