The second of the Iowa class of Battleships, your photo reminded me very much of the USS New Jersey, BB-62, which is now a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey, built during World War 2 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and she was recommissioned during my active-duty time in the Navy back in the 1980's. She was reactivated during the Korean War and the Vietnam War and fully decommissioned in the 1990's.
