In 1986, USS Iowa (BB-61) deployed to the Mediterranean during one of the most active periods of Cold War naval competition. The "Big Stick" operated as the centerpiece of a carrier battle group, her combination of 16-inch naval gunfire and Tomahawk missiles giving combatant commanders an unmatched range of strike options from direct fire support to long-range precision strikes.
