 Is a Tribute to all the Sailors that had the pleasure to serve on "The Big Stick", And other Iowa Class Battleships.


"There are only two kinds of sailors in the U.S. Navy: those who have been on a battleship and those who wish they could."

 




They were operated and loved by a breed of men with a special swagger: battleship Sailors.

 

 

 

During the latter part of the 19th century and nearly all of the 20th, Battleships were important weapons in the U.S. Navy's arsenal. For the first several decades of that time, Battleships were considered the foremost warships of the fleet. A force that embodied the nation's strength. Their big guns made them the center of attention wherever they went. Even after Battleships were supplanted in primacy during World War II, they continued to be potent in new roles and demonstrated remarkable longevity. Throughout their service lives, even as technology advanced and the ships became ever larger and more sophisticated.

This Website Supports  The USS Iowa in  the

"Port of Los Angeles, San Pedro, California".



 


 

 

The Pacific Battleship Center is working to bring the USS IOWA to the Port of Los Angeles.

 

Once here, our goal is to create an interactive naval museum experience that honors and illustrates the positive contributions of this battleship and its crew at critical moments in American history.

Our education programs offer lessons in history, leadership, team-building, character development, and community service.
