Berthed today at NAUTICUS, the National Maritime Center, the Wisconsin was the last of the four Iowa-class battleships—along with the Iowa, New Jersey, and Missouri. The Wisconsin fought through the final year of WWII, saw extensive service during the Korean War, and then was recalled to arms to liberate Kuwait during the Gulf War in 1991. During the latter war, Wisconsin not only loosed its massive 16-inch cannons but launched Tomahawk cruise missiles deep into enemy territory. This book, through more than 250 photos, documents the battleship from design and construction, through combat during each of its wars, to its preservation today. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
