Those Who Served Aboard USS Iowa

From World War II through the Cold War, over 50,000 sailors brought the “Big Stick” to life — their stories are the soul of her legacy.

 

The Heartbeat of the Battleship

The USS Iowa “Those Who Served” collection honors the sailors who brought the ship to life across her decades of service. This living and growing registry features snapshots and stories from veterans who proudly served aboard the “Big Stick” — from World War II through the Cold War. Visitors can search for shipmates, explore personal histories, or submit information about their own service or that of a loved one, preserving their legacy for future generations.
