USS Iowa (BB-61) was the last lead ship of any class of United States battleships, and the last battleships commissioned in the US Navy. Between the mid-1940s and the early 1990s, the Iowa-class battleships fought in four major US wars.

Good day friends!
Today, I’m posting something exciting and important on behalf of battleshipiowa.
You’re invited to learn about a proposed park project next to Battleship IOWA Museum. Your ideas are wanted!
The museum is hosting community meetings in February to give the public opportunities to share their ideas on the project. Upcoming dates are:
Saturday 2/13 at 10:00 AM
Thursday 2/18 at 6:00 PM
The meetings are identical so you only need to sign up for one.
The park would be entirely funded by a grant from the State of California Statewide Park Program. It's a competitive grant opportunity and we’re hoping to build the park and community center for our community!
Learn more and sign up for a meeting by clicking the link below. You can also share your ideas now by emailing parkproject@labattleship.com.

TGIF!
Who’s ready for the weekend.

Trip to Long Beach with my homie jacobofe_ !
(we didn't go to the beach or see Snoop Dogg😓)
⚓️ 1) Battleship USS Iowa - retired battleship built in 1939.
⛰ 2) "Sunken City" - in 1929, a landslide happened and caused houses, sidewalks, and streets to come tumbling down.
🇰🇷 3) Korean Friendship Bell - in 1976, the Republic of Korea donated this bell to the US

Created a stand in the style of a museum display and probably would look great on the top of any fireplace! This is one of the possible ways to display the Iowa, although the cost and footprint of the stand might not be for everyone. Note that I will unlikely use this stand for the instructions (although it should be fairly easy to figure it out on your own) and instead an alternative version of this stand (to optimize part costs) will be included
