Beskrivning:

The U.S. Navy Iowa Class battleship USS Wisconsin (BB-64) is tied up outboard of the hulk of USS Oklahoma (BB-37), at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, Hawaii (USA), on 11 November 1944. Note the great difference in the length of the two battleships and the anti-torpedo netting outboard of the ships. Since 22 June 1998, USS Missouri (BB-63), sistership to the Wisconsin, has been moored at this location, facing in the opposite direction towards, and 500 yards away from, the USS Arizona Memorial. As a side note, all four Iowa Class battleships are memorials with the Wisconsin in Norfolk, Virginia, USS Iowa (BB-61) in San Pedro, California, and USS New Jersey (BB-62) in Camden New Jersey.
