S. battleships, I believe that the North Carolina and the Alabama are also on exhibit in their namesake states, though I don't know in what ports. Of the six non- Iowa-class BB's built during WW2, this leaves the Washington (NC class) and the South Dakota and Indiana (SD class) unaccounted for, and presumably scrapped. Does anyone else "out there" know? cmayse@ncsa.uiuc.edu [mod.note: USS Washington was broken up in 1961. South Dakota was scrapped in '62, and Indiana in '64. Alaska and Guam were broken up in '61, as well. - Bill ]
