The second of four Iowa-class battleships completed by the United States. Commissioned in 1943, New Jersey joined the Pacific Fleet the following year, conducting shore bombardments and screening aircraft carriers. New Jersey remained in combat through the end of World War II and later returned to service for the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and further operations during the 1980s. After her final decommissioning, she was preserved as a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey.
