Description
The Battleship Wisconsin BB-64 was one of the famous Iowa-class ships. It was commissioned on April 16, 1944 and reported for duty in the Pacific.
The USS Wisconsin helped neutralize Japanese sea, air and ground forces occupying the Philippine Islands. It also supported landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The Battleship Wisconsin's World War II service ended transporting troops back to the US. The Battleship later saw action in the Korean War and during Operation Desert Storm.

Gorgeous work! L/F Is she currently docked in Norfolk? Looks like Nauticus in the far left corner.....
Melissa Messick replied:
Hi Arlane, Yes it is currently docked in Norfolk just beside the Nauticus and you can tour the ship all but the lowest deck. We spent quite some time exploring her. Inside is a history of her in items and pictures.
