The story of the last battleship to see combat, ill-tempered USS Wisconsin
FeaturedWIB sea November 24, 2020 Staff Writer 0
It was one of the largest warships ever built by the United States Navy- with enough firepower to level a city, a hand in three armed conflicts and over six decades of service life.
Despite being part of a dying breed, the USS Wisconsin (known as “Wiskyâ€), was a legend that stood out from many battleships, particularly when it came to dealing with incoming fire.
Named after the state of Wisconsin, Wisky was initially planned before the war, but would not be ready to go until Dec. 7, 1943, the second anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
