After valiant service in Vietnam and after saving the lives of countless Ma- rines, the New Jersey was decommissioned in 1969. During that solemn ceremony, her last commanding officer, Captain Robert Peniston, spoke prophetically when he suggested that this mighty ship, “Rest well, yet sleep lightly; and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide fire power for freedom.” Well, the call has been sounded. America needs the bat- tleship once again to provide firepower for the defense of freedom and, above all, to maintain the peace. She will truly fulfill her mission if her firepower never has to be used. Captain Fogarty, I hereby place the United States Ship New Jersey in commission. God bless, and Godspeed.” In Memory of President Ronald Wilson Reagan Commander In Chief THE JERSEYMAN n May 29, 2004, formal dedication of the WW2 National Memorial took place in Washington, DC.

In fact there was a story written by Stars and Stripes on the gun room I worked in about July or August 1986. But to your questions, yes we wore a cartridge belt, the belt was stored in a locker in the turret, and the gun captain filled the belts. After the gun was loaded with rounds, six bags of powder (large bags were 110 lbs. each) and lead foil, the gun elevated down to the platform in the pit where loaded, and the primer was about the same size as a 30-30 brass cartridge. After I loaded the primer I would give the gun captain a "Thumbs up," the gun captain then pushed a button to let them know that the gun was loaded and ready to fire. After three tones sounded, the gun fired, the gun captain opened the breech and the empty primer fell Primer cartridge courtesy of Volunteer into the pit.
