The USS Iowa joined in battles from World War II to Korea to the Persian Gulf. It carried President Franklin Roosevelt home from the Teheran conference of allied leaders, and four decades later, suffered one of the nation's most deadly military accidents.
Veterans groups and history buffs had hoped that tourists in San Francisco could walk the same teak decks where sailors dodged Japanese machine-gun fire and fired 16-inch guns that helped win battles across the South Pacific.

Mr. Ducky, here in God's Country, The Southern States, the battleships Texas (Houston), Alabama (Mobile) and the aircraft carrier Lexington (Corpus Christi) are huge attractions.
Down here we don't wee our pants and moan, we fight, and we appreciate those who have fought before us and their sacrifices.
There was no Feinstein/San Francisco dispute. The lunatics cut off their nose to spite their faces and gave up a projected 100,000+ visitors a year to the attraction. That would probably easily add a couple of million to the economy.
Who needs that kind of money when playing drop the soap in the shower is free?
Please, give me a break Mr. Ducky. My Massachusetts ancestors were there to meet yours when they got off the boat.
My son is on his way back up. At least this time he can stay out of Boston. He's on his way to Andover.
Richard Warren (10th great grandfather) - Mayflower emigrant. Richard, his wife and seven children were all here to greet Governor Dudley upon his arrival in Massachusetts.
Robert Bartlett (9th great grandfather) - Sailed on the Anne in 1623. His future wife, Mary Warren, her mother and siblings also sailed on the Anne.
