U.S.S. New Jersey BB-62 (1982) U.S.S. New Jersey BB-62 (1982)
Die New Jersey war eines der größten Schlachtschiffe der Welt. Das zur „Iowa-Klasse“ gehörende Schiff verfügte über eine ideale Kombination aus Feuerkraft und hoher Geschwindigkeit und war damit lange Zeit ein gefürchteter Gegner. Der Bau der New Jersey begann am 16. September 1940, als der Kiel in der Philadelphia Marineschiffswerft gelegt wurde. Die Indienststellung erfolgte am 23. Mai 1943. Danach nahm sie an Einsätzen im zweiten Weltkrieg, im Korea- und Vietnam-Krieg, vor der Küste Libanons und letztlich im Persischen Golf teil. Bei ihrer letzten Überholung und grundsätzlichen Modernisierung in den Jahren 1981/82 erhielt sie neueste Elektronik- und Lenkwaffensysteme. Zu den neun gewaltigen 40,6 cm Hauptgeschützen kamen acht Abschussvorrichtungen für Tomahawk-Marschfl ugkörper sowie vier Abschussvorrichtungen für Harpoon-Lenkwaffen hinzu. Außerdem entschied man sich für die Nahbereichsabwehr für vier 20 mm Phalanx-Gatling-Geschütze. Statt der Bordfl ugzeuge aus dem zweiten Weltkrieg führte das Schlachtschiff nunmehr moderne Sea Hawk-Helikopter mit. In ihrem letzten Ausrüstungszustand unterschied sich die New Jersey erheblich von dem während des zweiten Weltkriegs. Im September 1983 wurde die New Jersey aufgrund des libanesischen Bürgerkriegs ins Mittelmeer beordert, um amerikanische und französische Truppen zu unterstützen. Dabei wurden mehrere feindliche Stellungen im Libanon beschossen. Danach nahm sie an verschiedenen Operationen und Übungen teil, so auch im Persischen Golf Anfang 1990. Mitte 1990 führte die New Jersey dann ihre Abschiedsreise entlang der Westküste der USA durch, um am 08. Februar 1991 schlussendlich außer Dienst gestellt zu werden. Sie lag nun in der Marinewerft Puget Sound zu-sammen mit ihrem Schwesterschiff Missouri (BB-63) in Reserve und wurde in 1999 aus dem offi ziellen Schiffsregister gestrichen. Heute liegt das Schlachtschiff in Camden, New Jersey am Delaware River als Museumsschiff vor Anker. Obwohl es schon während des zweiten Weltkriegs so aussah, als würde die Zeit der Schlachtschiffe zu Ende ge-hen, konnte und wollte die US Navy auf die gewaltige Feuerkraft und hohe Standfestigkeit der Iowa-Schlachtschiffe lange nicht verzichten. Die aus den Hauptgeschütz abgefeuerten 40,6 cm Granaten wogen über 1,2 Tonnen und hatten eine Reichweite von ca. 40 km.The USS New Jersey was one of the largest warships in the world. Belonging to the „Iowa-class“ the ship had an ideal combination of high speed and fi re-power and was therefore considered a formidable op-ponent for many years. Construction of the New Jersey began on 16 September 1940, as the keel was laid at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. She was commissioned into service on 23 May 1943. Thereafter she took part in various operations during World War II, the Korean and Vietnam War, off the coast of Lebanon and ultimately in the Persian Gulf. In 1981/82 she underwent fundamental modernisation during her last overhaul and received the latest electronics and guided weapon systems. Eight Tomahawk cruise missile launchers and four Harpoon missile launchers were added to the nine massive 40.6 cm (16 inch) guns of the main armament. Additionally, four 20 mm Phalanx Gatling guns were added for short-range defence. Instead of the on-board aircraft from the Second World War the battleship now carried modern Sea Hawk helicopters. With its latest equipment fi t, the New Jersey dif-fered considerably from its condition during the Second World War. In September 1983, due to the Lebanese civil war the New Jersey was or-dered into the Mediterranean to support American and French troops. She bombarded several enemy positions in the Lebanon. Later she took part in various operations and exercises, including the Persian Gulf early in 1990. In mid 1990 the New Jersey undertook its farewell tour along the west coast of the USA. It was fi nally de-commissioned on 08 February 1991. She then lay in reserve in the US Navy Shipyard in Puget Sound along with her sister ship the USS Missouri (BB-63). She was fi -nally deleted from the offi cial ships register in 1999. Today the battle-ship lies at anchor on the Delaware River as a museum ship in Camden, New Jersey. Although it looked like the era of the battleships had come to an end during the Second World War, the U.S. Navy could and would not dispense with the steadfastness and tremendous fi re-power of the Iowa class battleships. The shells fi red from the main 40.6 cm (16 inch) guns weighed about 1.2 tons and had a range of about 40 km.
