Discover the iconic USS Iowa (BB-61), the lead ship of her class and a distinguished battleship named after the state of Iowa. As the lead ship of any class of U.S. battleships due to the cancellation of the Montana-class battleships, the USS Iowa boasts a rich history, including being the only ship of her class to serve in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. This model captures the essence of the USS Iowa, from her role in carrying President Franklin D. Roosevelt across the Atlantic for a crucial meeting in Tehran with Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin, to her pivotal actions in the Pacific Fleet during World War II and the Korean War. After serving 19 years of active duty, including a reactivation in 1984 to counter the Soviet Navy, the USS Iowa was decommissioned for the last time in 1990. Today, she stands as a museum at the Port of Los Angeles, inviting the public to explore her storied decks.
