USS New Jersey Embarks on Historic Journey for Maintenance

The most decorated battleship in U.S. Navy history, USS New Jersey, is undergoing extensive maintenance after leaving its dock for the first time in 25 years.

The USS New Jersey, a World War II-era battleship turned museum, has left its Camden dock headed for the Philadelphia Navy Yard for two months of maintenance.
The ship will undergo three major repair projects, including repainting the hull, fixing the anti-corrosion system, and inspecting through-hull openings.
This is the first time the battleship has been moved since 2001, making it a historic moment for veterans and spectators.
The USS New Jersey served in multiple conflicts including World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, before retiring in 1991.
The maintenance aims to have the battleship return to Camden in time for Memorial Day and summer tourism traffic.
