When I was stationed briefly at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, the USS Iowa
was mothballed there pierside in the Delaware River.

We used to sneak on board the vessel with flashlights for our tours.

Quite an impressive ship. Damn big gun turrets (16 inch guns).

If you get a chance, visit it, and remember my nighttime forays in its many
passageways.
