From the March 3, 2012, Contra Costa Times "SS Lane Victory to bring riders for USS Iowa arrival" by Donnie Littlejohn.
It will probably be another 2-3 months before the battleship USS Iowa arrives from San Francisco at the Port of Los Angeles where it will become a museum ship. But, the SS Lane Victory, a World War II merchant Victory ship has plans to meet it.
And, for just $250, you can go along for the ride.
The Iowa, at the time was in the Port of Richmond, by San Francisco, being readied to be towed.
The USS Iowa Veterans Association was to have their annual reunion in Los Angeles July 2-6th.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
