  1. Glad they made a memorial out of her. Shame to see these ships scrapped. I got to go on board the North Carolina July 1, 1963. .

  2.  @awuma  Yeah. South Dakota, Indiana and Washington were scrapped. For the states of South Dakota and Indiana it might have been difficult to get the ship there to be a memorial - but the State of Washington has no excuse. Fortunately by the time the Iowa's reached then end of their careers - people wanted them. The Missouri - another ships whose state would have been hard to reach by a Battleship - went to Pearl Harbor where she is moored near the Arizona. With the Arizona sunk during that attack that started the war and the Japanese Surrender signed on board the Missouri - it makes a fitting tribute to the beginning and end of WWII for the US. .
