USS Iowa aft turret
Armed and dangerous, once!! On our recent visit to Southern California which was primarily for Railroad interest, I had been aware that we would be in the vicinity of the USS Iowa Battleship now a floating museum at Long Beach harbour since 2012. A visit seemed like a must and we duely visited on what turned out to be a memorably experience. On a very lightly attended day we were given a warm and friendly reception by the numerous veterans acting as guides on board and I thoroughly enjoyed spending well over 2 hours touring this famous main Battleship built during the Second World war in 1942. An unbelievable experience that added much to our visit to the United States this year.
