USS WisconsinThe USS Wisconsin is currently docked in Norfolk Va and is open as a exhibit at the Nauticus National Naval Museum.
USS Wisconsin (BB-64) is an Iowa Class battleship built at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard and launched December 7, 1943. It enter World War II in April 1944. The Wisconsin also served in Korean conflict and Desert Storm, after a modernization program. The Wisconsin's main battery consisted of nine 16 inch guns, which could fire 2,700 lb (1,200 kg) armor-piercing shells some 20 miles. The secondary battery consisted of twenty 5 inch guns in ten twin turrets, which could fire at targets up to 10 miles away. With the advent of air power and the need to gain and maintain air superiority came a need to protect the growing fleet of allied aircraft carriers. To this end, Wisconsin was fitted with an array of Oerlikon 20 mm and Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns to defend allied carriers from enemy airstrikes. When reactivated in 1986, Wisconsin had her 20 mm and 40 mm AA guns removed, and was outfitted with Phalanx CIWS mounts for protection against enemy missiles and aircraft, and Armored Box Launchers and Quad Cell Launchers designed to fire Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles. Everything is massive
