Description: Presents an historical account of the Dreadnaught battleships and their role during World War II. Focuses upon the battleship New Jersey, commissioned in 1943, which served as a mobile artillery station and a defense system for aircraft carriers during the war rather than in the traditional role of engaging the enemy's navy. Notes the continuing use of battleships as demonstrated by the New Jersey's recommission in 1953 and again in 1968.
