The USS Iowa's bow as seen from its bridge.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE! Just thought I'd get y'all in the holiday and museum-going mood by posting these neat photos of the USS Iowa adorned in Christmas lights in San Pedro. I wonder just how fearful the Japanese would've been if the Battleship of Presidents approached their various island beachheads looking this way in World War II? Their laughter probably would've come to a quick end once the 16-inch shells began raining down on 'em... Anyways, to check out more pics of the USS Iowa celebrating the birth of Jeebus, visit the Pacific Battleship Center's Facebook page. Carry on.

The USS Iowa as seen from the Pacific Battleship Center's parking lot.

Three of the USS Iowa's forward 16-inch guns are adorned in Christmas lights.

The guns located near the USS Iowa's stern are raised in firing position...even though they'll never fire 16-inch shells again.
