The last thing that moved out of there was the USS New Jersey on its way to 'Nam. Saw it from my senior English class!

You sure it was the Hudson River? NJ spent her mothball years between Korea and Vietnam in Philly, tied up alongside Iowa and Wisconsin and was reactivated in the old Philadelphia Navy Yard on the Delaware Rive. You might have seen her doing a port call before heading out to the Pacific ...

Pretty sure. It was 4 years ago! I remember something that could have been nothing but a battleship. Always thought it was the Jersey. Could be wrong. I know there were at least 2 battleships moored up there.

Have to ask my dad. He worked there as an electrician maintaining the ships after he was discharged from Korea.
