USS Iowa was a pre-dreadnought battleship built for the United States Navy in the mid-1890s. The ship was a marked improvement over the previous Indiana-class battleships, correcting many of the defects in the design of those vessels. Among the most important improvements were significantly better seaworthiness owing to her greater freeboard and a more efficient arrangement of the armament. Iowa was designed to operate on the high seas, which had been the impetus to increase the freeboard. She was armed with a battery of four 12-inch (305 mm) guns in two twin-gun turrets, supported by a secondary battery of eight 8-inch (203 mm) guns.

Very highly detailed and the turrets move.

There may be surface wear, scuffing or minor things to items that would come with normal use so if there is something specific you are concerned about please ask.

If you see a mistake or flaw in my listing PLEASE let me know! I try to research each item and now and then I get it wrong. I welcome input and will make changes when I can verify your input.
