300078028 - Model kit,1:350 US Battleship New Jersey BB-62

The BB-62 USS New Jersey was the most decorated battleship in the history of the US Navy from 1943 to 1991. She was commissioned in 1943 as the second of a total of six Iowa-class battleships.
However, numbers five and six, the BB-65 Illinois and the BB-66 Kentucky, were never completed and were eventually dismantled. Like the other ships of the Iowa class, the USS New Jersey had a displacement of 45,000 tonnes, an output of 212,000 hp and an armament of nine 16-inch (40.6 cm) guns distributed over three triple turrets (two forward and one aft) with a maximum range of up to 40 km.
The Iowa-class ships were 270.4 metres long and had a relatively narrow hull of no more than 33 metres, allowing them to pass through the Panama Canal with ease.
After serving in major battles in the Pacific during the Second World War, the USS New Jersey was returned from reserve to active service for both the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
In 1982, the ship was completely renovated, modernised and equipped with the latest weapons technology. After the Lebanon conflict, the New Jersey was still in service in the 1991 Gulf War and was then finally decommissioned.
