Background

About the ship

USS Arkansas, the second Wyoming-class battleship, was laid down in 1910 and entered service two years later. During World War I, she was assigned to Battleship Division Nine, which was under the command of the Royal Navy. Following the outbreak of World War II, Arkansas conducted neutrality patrols. She also escorted convoys in the Atlantic after the United States entered the war. Later, she supported the Normandy landings and provided fire support for the invasion of southern France. In 1945, she provided fire support during the landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. After the war, Arkansas transported soldiers back to the U.S. and participated in nuclear tests conducted at Bikini Atoll.
