【 The Big J Circa 1982 】 The
45,000-ton Iowa-class was the the largest and last battleships built by
the U.S. Navy. The USS New Jersey, affectionately known as the "Big J,"
was the second ship of this class and saw service in WWII from
early-1944. However, the advent of carrier airpower changed the nature
of naval warfare and New Jersey was withdrawn from frontline duty after
WWII in 1948. She was reactivated to participate in the Korean War and
Vietnam War, but was again placed in reserve in 1969. However, thanks to
President Reagan's policy of strengthening the navy, the modernization
of the Iowa-class was proposed in 1981 and New Jersey was chosen as the
first ship to undergo this program. She was equipped with new weaponry
including Tomahawk cruise missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and
Phalanx CIWS as well as new radars, ECM, and other electronic systems.
She served as a missile-carrying battleship until her final
decommissioning in 1991 and was eventually stricken from the U.S. Navy
register in 1995. USS New Jersey was then restored to become a floating
museum in Philadelphia.
