Battleship New Jersey |
Welcome to the Battleship New Jersey Historical Museum Society web page. The purpose of our Society is to assist and support the battleship New Jersey in the territorial waters of the State of New Jersey. To that end we maintain our Society membership, newsletter, and Society Store.
USS New Jersey (BB-62) is one of the four battleships of the Iowa class, the largest, fastest, most powerful, and last battleships the US ever built, and among the biggest battleships ever.
Beyond her imposing size and physical characteristics, the "Big J" has an unmatched record of service to her country.
In 1975, a number of enthusiasts founded the Society as a statewide non-profit organization whose purpose was to bring the ship to a place of honored retirement in her "name" state.
