Get yourself to Camden, NJ and visit the BB New Jersey there... You'll never regret it. A great bunch of guys there to chat with and get a personal tour if it's a slow day...

Thanks, but I'd rather drive 8 miles and see the Missouri... less hassle and all.

Got any photos you can post

Going to try and visit Her soon. Might get a bit misty eyed Just seeing Her standing watch over Arizona.

Unfortunately Iowa seems to be having more trouble finding a permanent Home, That is just not right

I have a flash drive with more somewhere but I'd have to look for it, that's some I have at a different site.

IMHO all four should never have been decommissioned... heavy naval guns have a unique destructive force and unique ability to project power that has been lost now. I believe the Missouri is the only Naval unit to have an Army brigade attempt to surrender to it.
