The Battleship was the Missouri which is of the Iowa class along with the Wisconsin, Iowa, and New Jersey. I'm not sure if the Arizona was of the same class maybe someone can chime in. The Missouri was chosen because President Harry Trueman was from Missouri. The nickname of the Missouri was ''The Mighty Mo.''
There were only 4 Iowa class battleships. Iowa, Missouri, New Jersy and Wisconsin.
A friend of mine was a fire control technician on the New Jersey. He gave me a tour of it when it was in San Diego. What an incredible warship. It had a 2 inch main deck. The main turrents had an office in it although you couldn't really stand up in them.
