USS Wisconsin
Some fearsome firepower on display by the USS Wisconsin (BB-64), nicknamed ‘Big Whisky’. She served in the Pacific War in 1944/45, gaining further battle stars in the Korean conflict. She last used her weaponry in anger in the First Gulf War of 1991, firing Cruise missiles on Iraqi targets. As the last active battleship, the USS Wisconsin is now berthed as a museum ship in Norfolk VA, alongside the Nautilus Museum.
