Wife and I toured the Missouri at Pearl Harbor two years ago. The battleship had just come out of dry dock and looked great.

It will be good to know another of the Iowa BB’s will be preserved as there are no ships like them.

I toured the Missouri at Pearl too. Time well spent.

The thing that bothered me is that the EPA determines where and when anybody on the ship is allowed to go. When did we make the EPA our Overlord?

All four of them are museums.

The US has almost as many preserved battleships now as the Pacific fleet had commissioned ones in 1941.
