Battleship USS New Jersey
Uploaded: February 25, 2015 | Entered: February 25, 2015 11:01:55
New Jersey was decommissioned for the last time in 1991 (after serving a total of 21 years in the active fleet), having earned a Navy Unit Commendation for service in Vietnam and 19 battle and campaign stars for combat operations during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, and service in the Persian Gulf. After a brief retention in the mothball fleet, she was donated to the Home Port Alliance in Camden, New Jersey, and began her career as a museum ship 15 October 2001.

It was a stormy day in December when I shot this photo following a Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration ceremony. I recently added drama to the image using Topaz Restyle.
