    The U.s.s. Alabama This 35,000-ton battleship, commissioned as the USS Alabama in August 1942, is one of only two surviving examples of the South Dakota class. Alabama gave distinguished service in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of World War II. During its 40-month Asiatic- Pacific stint, it participated in the bombardment of Honshu and its 300-member crew earned nine battle stars. Decommissioned in 1947, the ship was transferred to the state of Alabama in 1964 and is now a war memorial, open to the public.

Alabama is sailing quietly on the Pacific Ocean on the night of 26 November 1943. Most of the sailors are sleeping soundly in their racks while the night shift is on watch. At 22:15 the Officer of the Deck receives word there are enemy planes approaching and gives order to sound General Quarters. General Quarters, General Quarters, all hands man your battle stations, forward starboard side aft port side General Quarters. Sailors jump out of their racks and others run to their battle stations in orderly chaos. As water-tight hatches are being closed, Captain Wilson runs to the bridge to take in the situation and starts giving orders. While signalmen search the skies with their signal lights for the approaching enemy aircraft, gunners and loaders ready their guns waiting for orders.

  • 1 of 5 – Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    FHWA-AL-EIS-14-01-D DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT PROJECT NO. DPI-0030(005) I-10 MOBILE RIVER BRIDGE AND BAYWAY WIDENING MOBILE AND BALDWIN COUNTIES, ALABAMA U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION AND ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION July 2014 IN COOPERATION WITH: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District and U.S. Coast Guard, Eighth District EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES-1 Purpose and Need In the Mobile area, there is a need to increase the capacity of Interstate 10 (I-10) to meet existing and predicted future traffic volumes and to provide a direct route for vehicles transporting hazardous materials, while minimizing impacts to Mobile’s maritime industry. The first need is to increase the capacity of I-10 to meet existing and predicted future traffic volumes. The existing traffic volumes result in on-going traffic flow or congestion problems. The existing (2010) Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) crossing the Mobile River is 111,334 vehicles. The level of traffic creates a Level of Service (LOS) of F with delays during peak periods. The predicted AADT for 2030 is 182,445, which would create more congestion and longer delays. A LOS of F represents a traffic condition that produces gridlock under extreme conditions. The second need is for a more direct route for vehicles transporting hazardous materials across the Mobile River. Trucks carrying prohibited hazardous materials must detour off I-10. Currently, they are rerouted through the Mobile Central Business District (CBD), using the Cochrane Africatown Bridge to cross the Mobile River. A direct interstate route would eliminate this situation.
