Big Wisky! When US Navy battleships ruled and guns were the deciding factor in most naval engagements then Iowa Class battleships and the USS Wisconsin come to mind. The most powerful guns at 16 inches ruled the waves and whether fired at other ships or providing a barrage of naval gunfire by eliminating beach defenses the battleship ruled. From World War 2 to Korea, the Vietnam War and Desert Storm there were United States Navy battleships. The USS Wisconsin is one of those battleships and on May 28th, 1991 the USS Wisconsin Battleship 16in gunfire was seen for the last time. Navy Crow constructed the USS Wisconsin Warships Of World War 2 75th Anniversary Coin in her honor.
For over 15 years the US veterans of Navy Crow have been designing some really interesting US Navy coins. Their designs have been featured in the naval offices of the NAVSEC and their Chief’s mess to hundreds of US Navy associations all over the world. Their unique military art and design is highly sought after by challenge coin collectors, both active duty and retired US Navy Sailors, family and friends.
USS Wisconsin Battleship 16in gunfire is a look at a time when guns on the seas ruled and missiles were not yet developed.
