What is the strongest battleship in the Iowa class?
Answer:
All four sisters are about equal; but the USS New Jersey might be a little more worn out than the other three; USS Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri.
The USS New Jersey is the only Vietnam Veteran of the bunch; and she fired nearly 6,000 16" & 15,000 5" shells during her tour on the gunline; so she might be a bit tired. The USS New Jersey has the distinction of being history's last battleship to see combat as a traditional all gunned man 'o war.
