USS Iowa earned nine battle stars for World War II service and two for Korean War service.

The 2006 Defense Appropriations Act authorized the Secretary of the Navy to strike Iowa and Wisconsin from the NVR, clearing the way for them to be donated as museum ships. Acting on this authority the navy struck USS Iowa from the Naval Vessel Register in March 2006.

Although Iowa has been struck from the NVR she has yet to be transferred to any memorial association, and is still currently listed as part of the reserve fleet in Suisun Bay.  Currently, USS Iowa is the only ship of her class not open to the public as a museum.
