The USS New Jersey, a battleship with a rich history, is set to leave its port in Camden, New Jersey for the first time in 24 years for drydock maintenance at Philadelphia Navy Yard. The ship, which played a significant role in the Vietnam War and has a distinguished service record, will be fired as a salute by Ken Kersch, a former machinist who served on the ship from 1967 to 1969. The departure marks a historic homecoming for the ship, which is now the centerpiece of the Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial.
