the USS New Jersey battle ship.

I've toured the USS Iowa (BB-61) here in SoCal. Absolutely amazing.
The old battleships may be outdated, but those big guns are truly intimidating...

I was also fortunate to go out on a day cruise on the USS Intrepid aircraft carrier before she was decommissioned. We got to witness catapult launches from the flight deck and also see both live fire and ordnance dropped in the ocean. That was a great day!.
