Battleship Iowa begins its final voyage
The battleship Iowa, a storied vessel that languished for years in the U.S. Navy's mothball fleet, was scheduled to begin its final journey Sunday, May 20th, 2012, from San Francisco to its permanent home as a museum in the Port of Los Angeles. Four tugboats were set to guide the Iowa, among the biggest U.S. battleships ever built, under the Golden Gate Bridge and out of the San Francisco Bay. One of them, the 7,200-horsepower Warrior, will chug down the coast with the massive ship in tow, and is expected to arrive in Southern California on Thursday. The Iowa will open for public tours in San Pedro on July 7 and remain as a central attraction on the community's waterfront, officials said.
