Why you should go…

The USS New Jersey (BB-62), an Iowa-class battleship that earned distinction across World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War, is now a floating museum on the Camden waterfront facing the Philadelphia skyline. Self-guided tours climb through multiple deck levels above and below the main deck, the 16-inch gun turrets, cramped crew berths, the bridge, and the admiral's cabin where Halsey once commanded. It pairs easily with Adventure Aquarium next door, and the deck views of the Delaware River are worth the trip alone.
