Iowas Class Battleship Plans
Posted: Mon May 17, 2021 3:55 pm
Through FOIA requests I have discovered that that original plans for BB-34–BB-66 were sent to the Naval Historical Warehouse in Memphis TN and were likely tossed into the garbage when that facility was closed.
A full set of Iowa-class plans (300 boxes) was sent to the Philadelphia Navy yard. That set, along with all the Iowa-class spare parts, appears to have been placed on the U.S.S. Charleston.
The U.S.S. Charleston is waiting for scrapping. If these materials are not removed soon, they will be destroyed.
