Your item “On ‘Wisconsin’: A Battleship Comes Home” in “History Now” (April) tells us that “only three other Iowa -class battleships survive.” This statement, though correct, also misleads in that only three other Iowas were ever completed. All survive, as do several memorialized ships from earlier classes (among them USS Alabama, Massachusetts, North Carolina ).

Help us keep telling the story of America.

Now in its 75th year, American Heritage relies on contributions from readers like you to survive. You can support this magazine of trusted historical writing and the volunteers that sustain it by donating today.
