The Most Decorated Battleship in U.S. History Gets an Overdue Face-Lift

The Battleship New Jersey Museum puts out some great videos on their channel answering questions and showing what they’re doing in the dry dock:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;c&#x2F;battleshipnewjersey" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;c&#x2F;battleshipnewjersey</a>

I think they may still have a few tickets to go visit the ship while she is in drydock (as in walk under the ship).

The New Jersey is my favorite museum ship by far.

&quot;Face-Lift&quot; is a very poor descriptive of the work being done.<p>Taking a 45,000-ton ship out of the water is <i>expensive</i>, and is done only when the bottom of it needs serious work.<p>A better description of the work might be &quot;bottom inspection, rust and leak repairs, and replacing the undercoating&quot;.
