Battleship BB-62

USS New Jersey was
built at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, and
launched on December 7, 1942- just a year after the
Pearl Harbor Attack brought America into WWII.
Known
as "Big J," USS New Jersey received nine battle stars for World War II, four
for the Korean conflict, and two for Vietnam. She also earned three Campaign Stars for service off Beirut, Lebanon
and service in the Persian Gulf, prior to Operation
Desert Storm. She also received the Navy Unit
Commendation for Vietnam service.
With a total of
Nineteen Battle and Campaign Stars, the USS New Jersey is
America's most decorated battleship and surviving
warship.
USS
New Jersey was decommissioned for the last time in
1991, making her one of the last battleships ever to
serve. She is now a museum ship at Camden, New
Jersey.
