USS New Jersey

At least two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name New Jersey, after the third U.S. state.

• The first New Jersey (BB-16) was a battleship commissioned in 1906, decommissioned in 1920, and sunk in 1923 in bombing tests.

• The second New Jersey (BB-62) was a battleship commissioned in 1943, seeing much service in World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War. It is presently a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey.
