USS New Jersey Wooden Model Ship – Premier Ship Models
At Premier Ship Models, we are excited to present the USS New Jersey Wooden Model Ship, a stunning tribute to one of the most decorated battleships in US history. This meticulously crafted model replicates the USS New Jersey (BB-62), a member of the renowned Iowa-class battleships. Affectionately known as the “Black Dragon,” the USS New Jersey is celebrated for its remarkable service across several wars, earning more battle stars than any other US battleship.
The History of the USS New Jersey
The USS New Jersey was the second ship in the United States Navy to bear the name of the state of New Jersey. Commissioned during World War II, she earned a reputation for her impressive combat actions, starting with key battles in the Pacific Theater. During World War II, she shelled targets on Guam and Okinawa and screened aircraft carriers during raids in the Marshall Islands.
In the Korean War, the USS New Jersey provided support with bombing raids along the North Korean coast. After being decommissioned into the reserve fleet, or “mothball fleet,” she was reactivated in 1968 to support US forces in the Vietnam War.
The USS New Jersey battleship model is not just a collector’s piece, but a symbol of resilience. Throughout its service, the ship earned 19 battle and campaign stars, and was the only US battleship to provide gunfire support in the Vietnam War. It was later reactivated in the 1980s as part of the 600-ship Navy program, with modernizations to carry missiles. In 1983, the ship played a significant role in US operations during the Lebanese Civil War.
The USS New Jersey was decommissioned for the last time in 1991 after 21 years of service. After her retirement, she was donated to the Home Port Alliance in Camden, New Jersey, where she serves as a museum ship today, educating visitors about her storied past.
