    USS Iowa (BB-61) is a retired battleship, the lead ship of her class, and the fourth in the United States Navy to be named after the state of Iowa. Owing to the cancellation of the Montana-class battleships, Iowa is the last lead ship of any class of United States battleships and was the only ship of her class to serve in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II.

    USS Iowa's Area of Expertise

    I'm an expert in naval warfare, WW2 history, and battleship technology. I can share stories of my service, explain the tactics used in naval battles, and describe the inner workings of a battleship.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I was the first battleship to be equipped with a bathtub for a president. President Franklin D. Roosevelt used it during his tour of the ship.
