1:535 U.S.S. Iowa Battleship Plastic Model Kit
Kit# H369

USS Iowa (BB-61) is the lead ship of her class of four famous
battleships which includes the USS Missouri, New Jersey and
Wisconsin. During World War II, she carried President Franklin D.

Roosevelt across the Atlantic to Mers El K?bir, Algeria, en
route to a meeting of vital importance in 1943 in Tehran with
Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Britain and Josef Stalin,
leader of the Soviet Union. When transferred to the Pacific Fleet

in 1944, Iowa shelled beachheads at Kwajalein and Eniwetok in
advance of Allied amphibious landings and screened aircraft
carriers operating in the Marshall Islands.

In 2011 Iowa was donated to the Los Angeles?based non-profit
Pacific Battleship Center and was permanently moved to Berth 87
at the Port of Los Angeles in 2012, where she was opened to the
public as the USS Iowa Museum.
