The Iowa-class, with a displacement of 45,000 tons, was the largest battleship built by the U.S. Navy during World War II, and the last battleship. 。 New Jersey, nicknamed "Big J," was born as the second ship. It fought in the Pacific theater from the beginning of 1944, but the development of aircraft greatly changed the face of maritime warfare, and in 1948 It was early to retire from the front lines. Expectations were placed on its powerful gun power during the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and although it returned to active duty twice, it was transferred to the reserves again in 1969. However, In 1981, President Ronald Reagan's naval power expansion plan proposed modernizing and returning four Iowa-class battleships to active service, and New Jersey was selected as the first ship. She has been equipped with the latest weapons such as naval missiles and Vulcan Phalanx, and has also strengthened electronic equipment such as radar and ECM. She served as a missile battleship until her retirement in 1991. She was then decommissioned in 1995 and moved to Philadelphia. New Jersey retains its appearance as a floating museum.
