The USS Wisconsin, which was the last battleship the US ever built, saw combat in World War II, the Korean War, and even the Gulf War.
Nicknamed "The Wisky," the Wisconsin provided cover for the invasion of Iwo Jima, was struck by a 155mm shell during the Korean War, and launched eight of the 47 Tomahawk cruise missiles in the opening salvo of the Persian Gulf War.
After being commissioned and decommissioned three times, the Wisconsin was finally put to rest in 1991.
As of 2009, it's on permanent display at the Nauticus Museum in Norfolk, Virginia - and we recently took a tour of it.
