Presently a museum ship anchored across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, the New Jersey was the most decorated battleship in US naval history. One of the storied Iowa-class battleships, it first saw service in World War II, serving with distinction at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, before going on to play a role in the Korean War, then being reactivated to support the US interventions in Vietnam and the Lebanese Civil War. In the 1980s the USS New Jersey started handing out a colouring book to children who visited the ship during her many visits to ports around the world. This is a stunning, updated edition of this book, which will allow a new generation of children to fall in love with this iconic ship.
Jason Hall is the Head Curator for the Battleship New Jersey.
