New Jersey commissioned

75 years ago today, on 21 November 1950, Iowa-class battleship USS New Jersey BB-62 was commissioned for the second time, with Capt. David M. Tyree in command. Big J proceeded to the Caribbean, where she welded her crew into an efficient body which would meet the demanding requirements of the Korean War.
