In 1987, USS Iowa (BB-61) deployed as part of the Reagan Navy's forward presence strategy. The "Big Stick" and her battle group demonstrated American naval power in the Atlantic and Mediterranean during a time of intense Cold War competition — a visible signal to Soviet forces that the United States remained committed to maritime supremacy.
