USS New Jersey (BB-62), Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, July, 1969
USS New Jersey (BB-62) framed by bow of USS England (DLG-22), Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, July, 1969. As a midshipman during my summer training cruise in 1969, I had many photographic opportunities, but few like this scene at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The ship in which I served, USS Morton (DD-948), is barely visible in the center of the nest of three destroyers tied up astern of New Jersey. One of the four Iowa Class battleships, the New Jersey is a piece of WWII naval history like few other vessels, having served as Fleet Admiral William F. Halsey’s flagship at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the last major naval action of WWII. Perhaps, only New Jersey’s sister-ship, USS Missouri (BB-63), now a permanent memorial at Pearl Harbor, is better known as the site of Japan’s surrender at the end of WWII in Tokyo Bay. Taken with a Rollei 35T 35mm camera on Kodachrome 25 Color Slide Film, a high resolution digital scan of the original generates excellent enlargements.
