Built in 1940, the USS Iowa served our country in World War II, the Korean War and the Cold War. Upon her launch, she was named the World's Greatest Naval Ship for her large guns, accurate fire control systems, heavy armor and fast speed. Known as “The Battleship of Presidents,” Iowa has hosted three presidents: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, as well as numerous dignitaries during almost 70 years of service. 

Several new areas of the ship have recently been opened for visitors.  

Docents will lead a guided tour of the battleship, with an optional non-hosted lunch at nearby Acapulco Mexican Restaurant to follow. 
 

10 a.m. - noon: Tour
noon - 2 p.m.: Optional non-hosted Lunch
