 In 2010 , the television series Hawaii Five @-@ 0 chose Battleship Cove , a housing community just outside the dock of the USS Missouri museum , as the location for an episode . The episode , with police cars racing down Tennessee and Nevada Streets , featured a number of Ford Island homes and some residents appeared as extras . That year , Peter Berg featured the USS Missouri in the film Battleship . The ship , which was towed off Ford Island for maintenance , was brought out to sea between completion of the maintenance and its return to the dock for filming . Michael Carr , president of the Battleship Missouri Memorial , hoped that the film would spike the number of visitors to the Ford Island museum .
