Because "New Jersey" had been recalled for service in the Vietnam War her modernization differed from her sisters for a number of reasons. When reactivated in 1967 "New Jersey" had her 20 mm Oerlikon and 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns removed, and received improved electronic warfare capabilities. This alteration helped reduce the time it took get "New Jersey" recommissioned: since she was not in her World War II format, the only major physical alteration to "New Jersey" involved the removal of four of her ten 5 inch gun mounts to make room for the Armored Box Launchers. In addition to saving time, this also made "New Jersey" cheaper to reactivate since the cost needed to modernize the battleship only included the addition of missile and gun system mounts, electronic warfare suites, and improved radar and gun spotter technology.
