USS New Jersey

Commissioned in 1943, the New Jersey is an Iowa-class battleship that served in four separate wars—World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Lebanon—spanning 40 years of American naval history. She served more combat time than any other battleship in history, firing her 16-inch guns in anger from the Pacific to the coast of Lebanon before her final decommissioning in 1991. Now a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey, she remains one of the most storied warships in American history.
