September 11, 1968. Taken on the fantail of Battleship New Jersey in Hawaii, this shot captures the tail of a UH-34 Seahorse helicopter, the back of Turret III, and interestingly, two vehicles tarped down on deck, which is not something we see in very many photos. It does, however, help illustrate how large the fantail of the ship is.
Today the flight deck has a tent structure on it that operates as our event space, but even still, we have enough room to park a Sea Sprite helicopter next to Turret III, something guests can see when they visit the ship.
