Historic battleship to become SoCal naval museum
Battleships Final Voyage
In this photo taken Tuesday April 24, 2012, a porthole in the stateroom once used by President Franklin Roosevelt looks out onto scaffolding on the deck of the battleship USS Iowa in Richmond, Calif. The 887-foot long ship that once carried Roosevelt to a World War II summit to meet with Churchill and Stalin is coming to life once again for what is most likely her final voyage this month to become a floating museum in Los Angeles.
