U.S. Navy USS Alabama BB-60 Battleship Commemorative Mug Cup… it’s about 4.25”H.. it’s in good condition.. never used.. no damage., it weighs about 14 Oz..From its humble beginnings on February 1 1940 as the keel was laid at the Norfolk Navy Yard in Portsmouth Virginia.. Battleship USS ALABAMA (BB-60) has had a remarkable career. She began her World War II adventures in the North Atlantic in 1943.. then later that year, went to the South Pacific seas.
Home to a crew of 2,500 courageous Americans,.. this 45,000 ton war machine’s WWII adventure culminated with BB-60 leading the American Fleet into Tokyo Bay on September 5, 1945. Nine Battle Stars for meritorious service were awarded the “Mighty A” during her brief three year tenure as the “Heroine of the Pacific”..
Most American warships end their useful life after wartime, but ALABAMA was destined to live another day.. That impossible dream came true on January 9, 1965 when USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park opened to the public.
