Next Sunday, the retired battleship USS Iowa is scheduled to be towed from her refurbishing site near San Francisco to San Pedro in Southern California, where the famous naval vessel—which saw action in both World War II and Korea—will soon become a museum. The trip down the California coastline will take three or four days to complete. Once the Iowa arrives in SoCal, preparations will be made to open her to the public on July 7. Looking forward to seeing this ship in person. It makes me wanna go to Long Beach (which is right next to San Pedro) to visit the Queen Mary first, for some random reason. Both vessels were used in WWII, but the Queen Mary doesn't have 16-inch guns capable of firing at targets more than 24 miles away. Now that's badass. Of course, the Queen Mary is haunted...which is just as cool. That is all.
