USS lowa bb-61
USS Iowa, a 61-year-old battleship, was stationed in the Vietnam War. The ship had already seen its fair share of battles and had become a symbol of American might. However, on this particular day, the ship was caught in a crossfire between the North Vietnamese Army and the South Vietnamese Army. A North Vietnamese artillery shell hit the ship, causing an explosion that ignited a fire on board.
