The USS New Jersey (BB-62) is an Iowa-class battleship renowned for its long and decorated service. Commissioned in 1943, it served in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. Armed with nine 16-inch guns and a top speed of 33 knots, it was one of the most powerful battleships ever built. It provided naval gunfire support in multiple conflicts and was modernized with missile systems during the 1980s. Decommissioned in 1991, it is now a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey, preserving its legacy as the most decorated battleship in U.S. history.
In 1939 and 1940, the United States Navy ordered a class of six battleships for service in the Pacific Theater of WWII. Because there were no cost restrictions in the development of these ships, the Iowa battleships were fearsome-fast enough to provide support to aircraft carriers and heavily armed for shore bombardment. The long service careers of these battleships included participation in every major war of the second half of the 20th century, from WWII to Korea and from Vietnam to the first Gulf War. Decommissioned in the early 1990s, two Iowa ships were mothballed for a decade and three now serve as military museums. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
