I am reluctantly a Facebook user. It seems the only way to communicate with mankind these days... Anyhow, the other day I discovered a Facebook page that makes it actually enjoyable to login:
https://www.facebook.com/THEIOWASISTERS (https://www.facebook.com/THEIOWASISTERS)
Every couple of days I'm greeted with some amazing pictures, most of which I've never seen before. I figured I'd share this to others who, like me, are forced to use The Facebook. :)
Very cool thanks for sharing
Great find. There are some excellent pics.
ya Im pimping that page on FB.
great find.
I just got back from a two week cruise to Hawaii. I saw the Iowa in Los Angeles and the Missouri at Pearl Harbor.
Awesome, Airboy.

which was in better shape overall?
I have no idea which is in better shape. The Missouri looked nicer to a layperson.
Back in the 70s, when they were still in mothballs, three of the Iowas were at the Philadelphia naval shipyard.
They were moored togehter and it was quite a sight.
One of the bridges into Philly goes over the river just south of the Yard, and has a very high elevation. When driving north into Philly over that bridge, it was a real surprise to crest the bridge, and suddenly there were these three behemoths right in front of you.
Hey Republic, went looking for this thread on Facebook and got nothing. Take it this is a dead end?
^ I'm not seeing it, either.
I was wondering why I was nolonger seeing pictures, I guess they took it down. I had noticed they had started posting political statements rather than Battleship photos...maybe they decided to do something different.
