the USS New Jersey battle ship.

Honestly, I thought the Missouri and Iowa were already stricken from the Navy records leaving the Wisconsin and New Jersey still on the Navy registry. Funny, during the ceremony, it was mentioned thT while the New Jersey was in dry dock, the navy was going to take it back for recomissioning.
I don't think it will ever happen. As mighty as a battleship is, it is obsolete in today's warfare. Could it still be used? Sure, but the man power to operate it exceeds the need.
I was still in high school when they were decommissioned but would loved to have served on one. I have an article from Time magazine from early 80s when the New Jersey was shelling Beruit and President Reagan said something about he will not present a loss to the American people. That is what started my love for the Iowa class Battleships.
