The USS New Jersey, affectionately known as the \"Big J,\" was the second ship of this class and saw service in WWII from early-1944. However, the advent of carrier airpower changed the nature of naval warfare and New Jersey was withdrawn from frontline duty after WWII in 1948. She was reactivated to participate in the Korean War and Vietnam War, but was again placed in reserve in 1969. However, thanks to President Reagan's policy of strengthening the navy, the modernization of the Iowa-class was proposed in 1981 and New Jersey was chosen as the first ship to undergo this program. She was equipped with new weaponry including Tomahawk cruise missiles, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and Phalanx CIWS as well as new radars, ECM, and other electronic systems. She served as a missile-carrying battleship until her final decommissioning in 1991 and was eventually stricken from the U.S. Navy register in 1995. USS New Jersey was then restored to become a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/350 scale plastic assembly kit depicts the USS New Jersey as she appeared in 1982.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 774mm, Beam: 94.5mm, Height: 182mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe superstructure and slender hull with clipper bow are accurately reproduced.
