As in the age of the battleship? It was commissioned and built in 1937 and was used in WW2. In terms of the memorial, it was brought to Wilmington in April 1962. It's been on display ever since.
Take the time to go visit her. This ship is one of the ways we veterans assured everyone's freedom!!
Check her out . She could be one of the reasons you are alive and free.
It has been a museum since 1962. Pretty cool to check out.
