"Battleship New Jersey Sets Sail for Philadelphia Navy Yard Maintenance"
The Battleship New Jersey is leaving port for the first time in 20 years for major repairs, including a trip to drydock for refurbishment. The ship, which saw extensive combat in World War II, will undergo repairs to its hull, coating, and cooling system. Special tours have been organized to help defray the costs of the $10 million repairs, and a "Donate to Drydock" campaign has been launched. The ship's history dates back to 1940, and it has seen action in various military campaigns before being decommissioned and eventually turned into a museum in Camden in 2001.
