In this photo from the archives of the Navy, the battleship Wisconsin (BB 64) hosts Chief Petty Officers while acting as a museum ship in Norfolk, Virginia.
During her career, Wisconsin served in the Pacific Theater of World War II, where she shelled Japanese fortifications and screened United States aircraft carriers as they conducted air raids against enemy positions. During the Korean War, Wisconsin shelled North Korean targets in support of United Nations and South Korean ground operations, after which she was decommissioned. She was reactivated on August 1, 1986, modernised and participated in Operation Desert Storm in January and February 1991.
