I was stationed on the USS New Jersey from November 5, 1984 until Feb 1987. The ship was in dry dock when I arrived on the ship and left when it was in dry dock. I was part of 1st division that manned turret 1.
Thanks for showing the pictures and memory's !!! I served on her from 1981 to 1985 as the Commissioning crew !! My general quarters station was the left gun in turret #2 16 inch as the primer man !! I fired 33 rounds out of my gun in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983 !! My department was Navigation !! I left as a QM3---E-4 !! I steered the ship and plotted many courses for her and will always be a part of her and her memory ,Thanks Again !! Louis Skinner QM3
My retirement shadow box has a flag flown from the New Jersey. One thing about this ship and others of her class, if you were pissing off the neighborhood and one showed up of your beach you knew it was time to turn down the music and mellow out because the knock on the door was going to be real bad for all concerned.
