Proceedings Magazine 1984 May Naval Review Issue Tomahawk
United States Naval Institute. The Review Issue is Published Yearly. Cover: In theory, warships are constructed for active service lives of 30 years apiece. Theory must be set aside, however, in the case of the battleship Iowa. She was recommissioned on 28 April of this year-41 years, 2 months, and 6 days after her original commissioning during World War II. Even though her chronological age is well past the theoretical, she spent many of her 41 years in mothballs; in two previous terms in commission, she amassed only about 11 years in active service. By that reckoning, she has another 19 to go before reaching the theoretical 30. Thanks to her recent modernization-which is described in Howard Serig's "Stretching the Fleet into the 1990s," beginning on page 164-she now carries some of the most modern weapon systems in the fleet. The dramatic cover painting, done by artist Tom Freeman, captures the Iowa of the 1980s. An oral history excerpt by Rear Admiral Joshua Cooper, who commanded the ship during the Korean War, depicts a portion of the ship's proud heritage. Admiral Cooper's "As I Recall ... Commanding the Iowa" begins on page 310.
