The Iowa is now opened for business... The re-dedication ceremony for the 45,000-ton battleship was held at Berth 87 in San Pedro last Wednesday, with the public finally being able to take tours of the USS Iowa as of today. Go to the Pacific Battleship Center's website to purchase tickets to visit the historic World War II dreadnought. The general admission price is $18. And no, I wasn't paid to promote San Pedro's newest museum. I'll visit the Iowa soon enough...
