Newark is the largest city in the U.S. state of New Jersey, and the seat of Essex County. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city had a population of 277,140. One of the nation's major air, shipping, and rail hubs, the city was ranked as the nation's 67th most-populous place in the United States as of 2010.
Newark is located in the heart of New Jersey's Gateway Region, approximately 8 miles (13 km) west of the New York City borough of Manhattan. Its location near the Atlantic Ocean on Newark Bay has helped make its port facility, Port Newark, the key container shipping facility for the New York metropolitan area, and the largest on the East Coast of the United States. It is the home of Newark Liberty International Airport, the first municipal commercial airport in the United States and one of the nation's busiest.
Newark is headquarters to numerous corporations such as Prudential Financial and PSEG. It is home to several universities including Rutgers University, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, the Seton Hall University School of Law, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology, along with hosting the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the Prudential Center (home of the National Hockey League's New Jersey Devils), as well as numerous other cultural and sports venues.

On a visit to the USA in 2007 we stayed in Riverton in New Jersey, not far from Philadelphia, and made a couple of visits there during the holiday. The River Line light rail system which passes through Riverton links Trenton with Camden on the opposite bank of the Delaware River to Philadelphia and we used that on both our visits. On the Camden side of the river the Iowa class battleship the USS New Jersey is moored as a museum ship and I took some photographs, mostly from the ferry from Camden to Philadelphia, on one of our visits.
Work on the USS New Jersey started on 16 September 1940, she was launched on 7 December 1942, and commissioned 23 May 1943. The initial crew training took place in the Western Atlantic and Caribbean before being transferred to the Pacific Theatre in advance of the planned assault on the Marshall Islands, where she screened the U.S. fleet of aircraft carriers from enemy air raids. She later took part in a naval bombardment of Iwo Jima and Okinawa prior to invasion by United States troops. During the Korean War the ship pounded targets on the East coast of North Korea, and following the Armistice the USS New Jersey conducted training and operation cruises until she was decommissioned on August 21, 1957. She was briefly reactivated in 1968 and sent to Vietnam to support US troops before returning to the mothball fleet in 1969. Reactivated again in 1982 USS New Jersey was sent to Lebanon to protect U.S. interests and U.S. Marines, firing her main guns at Druze and Syrian positions in the Beqaa Valley east of Beirut. Decommissioned for the last time on 8 February 1991, USS New Jersey was briefly retained on the Naval Vessel Register before being donated to the Home Port Alliance of Camden, New Jersey for use as a museum ship in October 2001. The USS New Jersey's sister Iowa class battleship USS Missouri was the ship on which General Douglas MacArthur accepted the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay on 2nd September 1945.
