# USS Wisconsin (Bb-64): From World War II to the Persian Gulf to Museum Ship - Hardcover

by **David Doyle** (Author)

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.
