USS Iowa was not the last battleship of her class, she was the first. She wasn't the last to fire her 16" guns either, that honor goes to the USS Wisconsin and the USS New Jersey, both of which were on duty during Desert Storm.

The picture of her at Suisan Bay Reserve Fleet is her correct current position, and we Iowa Vets eagerly await the outcome of her final fate.

Please feel free to visit USSIOWA.Org for more information on this great ship and the men who sailed her.
