In order for Battleship New Jersey to safely transit under the Walt Whitman Bridge, we removed the mast and radar array. We will be reattaching these pieces as well as adding a replica SPQ9 dome onto the ship! The ship will be closed October 1-3 in order to do this. #DryDockNJ

Some of the BB62 Sea Cadets made it to the USS NEW JERSEY submarine for a tour. Inspiring future generations is what it's all about!

Did you know Battleship New Jersey was the only battleship to have ever had swimming pools? In 1968, the WWII-era 40mm anti-aircraft guns were removed because they couldn’t keep up with the more modern jets, so Captain Snyder had pools installed in the remaining gun tubs.
