USS ALABAMA model

USS Alabama is the fourth and final member of the South Dakota class of battleships built for the United States Navy in the 1930s. The other ships are South Dakota,  Indiana, and Massachusetts.

After commissioning on August 16, 1942, USS Alabama's first mission was to provide convoy escort with the British Fleet in the North Atlantic. In August of 1943, she returned to Norfolk for overhaul, and then proceeded to the Pacific Theater. In the Pacific, USS Alabama served in many roles. She sailed with the carriers as an anti-aircraft escort, shooting down 22 kamikaze attackers. Her 16-inch guns provided shore bombardment in places such as the Marshall Islands, Saipan, and the Japanese homeland.

When the war ended, USS Alabama is a part of the occupation force in Japan. On January 9, 1947, she was decommissioned and placed in reserve at Bremerton, Washington.
