USS New Jersey (BB-62) headed out to sea

[MAIL] USS New Jersey, the Navy’s biggest, fastest and most awarded battleship, is set to embark on its first journey in over two decades.

This spring, the historical vessel will be dry-docked in the berth where it was built and launched in the 1940s.

USS New Jersey, which was converted to a museum in the the nineties, will be transported from the Camden Waterfront by tugboat to North Atlantic Ship Repair at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

There, the bottom of the impressive ship - which spans more than the length of two football fields - will undergo maintenance for the first time in 32 years.

'The ship needs to be inspected, repainted, updated, and brought back home to continue the mission,' Camden Mayor Vic Carstarphen told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

What is this - a fucking car commercial? Do JD Power & Motor Trend now include a battleship section in their magazines?
