The USS New Jersey, a 45,000-ton Iowa class battleship, was built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pa. It was commissioned in May 1943 and served in the Pacific during World War II. The New Jersey was recommissioned in November 1950 for the Korean War and served two combat tours. The USS New Jersey was recalled to duty during the Vietnam War and recommissioned in April 1968. From then until April 1969, the New Jersey conducted frequent bombardments along the South Vietnamese coast. The New Jersey was recommissioned in December 1982 and deployed again in combat during the Lebanon crisis of 1983-84 and to the western Pacific in 1986 and 1989-90 to the Persian Gulf area. The New Jersey was decommissioned in February 1991. In 1999, the New Jersey was towed from Bremerton, Wash., to Camden. With nineteen Battle and Campaign Stars, the USS New Jersey is the United States’ most decorated battleship. (New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs photo by Mark C. Olsen)
