Minimal alterations were made, probably on an ad hoc basis to provide some shelter from the elements. New Jersey received her squared-off bridge in June 1945 and Iowa was of course also rebuilt with the same squared-off enclosed bridge. New Jersey would end up being the only Iowa to sport the rounded-off bridge. Both The Bridge and Conning Tower are protected by 5-inch gun mountOriginal file name 45 The Bridge on Battleship NJ.jpg4110 x 2781Each photograph within this collection is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
