Battleship New Jersey

[osu1991]

Been watching BB62 Battleship New Jerseys YouTube channel for the last year or so. She was moved into dry dock 78 days ago for maintenance. Now out of dry dock and moving to Paulsboro to deballast before being moved back to her berth at Camden.

I follow that channel also, watched them move her to dry dock, I've seen the USS Texas but would love to visit one of the Iowa class Battleships someday.

I had the opportunity to tour the New Jersey when it was being decommissioned in Bayonne NJ. This was in the mid 50s after the Korean war ended. A very impressive ship.

I remember the New Jersey seeing action in the Vietnam War in the 1960's.
