Statistics of the Iowa class battleships. Armor: 12.2 inch belt, 6 inch deck, 11.6-17.3 inch barbettes, 2.5-17.3 inch turrets, 17.3 inch CT. Probably the finest battleships of all time. The second pair of ships had been planned as Montana class ships, but they were changed to Iowas to speed production. Reactivated for Korean War service in WWII configuration. The class was nearly discarded in 1974. Built by Philadelphia Navy Yard.
Iowa 101: The world's largest Iowa history course. In the decades before the Civil War, the issue of slavery strongly flavored congressional debate. There was no doubt that Iowa would be a slave-free territory, the first free state carved out of the Louisiana Purchase. The North and South each had its own ideas on how big Iowa should be. Each state gets two senators. To keep the balance between free and slave senators, every new state from one section would be paired with one from the other.
