Following the release of the 1/700 scale BB-63 Missouri in July of 2004, Tamiya introduced their second U.S. battleship to the Waterline Series, the BB-62 New Jersey.
Serving from 1943 to 1991, the BB-62 New Jersey is the most decorated battleship in U.S.
Naval history. Launched in 1942, the New Jersey was one of 4 Iowa class battleships built by the U.S. Like other Iowa class ships she boasted a 45,000 ton displacement, an amazing 212,000hp, was packed with three turrets of 50 calibre 40.6cm triple guns, and despite her large size, with hull stretching over 270m, was designed narrow enough to pass through the Panama Canal.
