Carrying the highest hull number ever assigned to a commissioned US battleship, the USS 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. During the latter she not only loosed her massive 16-inch cannons, but launched Tomahawk cruise missles deep into enemy territory. Finally released from Navy service, the battleship today is a floating museum moored in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Through carefully researched archival documents and photographs, the history of this iconic warship and the men who crewed her is told.
