The United States Navy's former Iowa-class battleship USS New Jersey (BB-62) has called the Camden, N.J., waterfront home for more than three decades, but the ship will be on the move this coming March. It won't be returning to action.
Known as the "Big J" or "Black Dragon," USS New Jersey (BB-62) also has the distinction of being one of the most decorated battleships to have served in the U.S. Navy. She is now set for a long period of repair work.
Upon her reactivation, USS New Jersey further underwent a period of modernization during which the 20 mm and 40 mm anti-aircraft guns on the battleship were removed, and she received improved electronic warfare systems and improvements to her radar.
