Battleship USS Iowa originally shared:
From 22–28 April 1944, USS Iowa supported air raids on Hollandia (now known as Jayapura), Aitape, and Wakde Islands to support Army forces on Aitape and at Tanahmerah and Humboldt Bays in New Guinea. She then joined the Task Force's second strike on Truk, on 29 and 30 April, and bombarded Japanese facilities on Ponape in the Carolines on 1 May. #USSIowa#BB61#Battleship#AmericanHistory#WWII
