Book Description
Battleships were instrumental in America's rise to world dominance at the end of the 19th century. Two battleships in particular, the U.S.S. Wisconsin BB-9 and BB-64, participated in wars and conflicts around the globe, demonstrating America's technological power. In 1903, the Wisconsin served as the setting for peace talks between Panama and Colombia. On December 7, 1943, the fast battleship Wisconsin (BB-64) was launched in response to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. In 1988, she was recommissioned for yet another tour of duty. This is the story of two proud vessels and their role in American naval and diplomatic history.

Book Description
Carrying the highest hull number ever assigned to a commissioned US battleship, 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. Finally released from Navy service, the battleship today is a floating museum moored near downtown Norfolk, Virginia. 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.
