USS New Jersey to leave port for first time in 24 years, big guns will fire salute: 'I love this ship'
'Big J' launched one year after Pearl Harbor attack, will head to Philadelphia for drydock maintenance
Ken Kersch speaks about the USS New Jersey as if it were a warm old friend instead of cold steel military hardware. "I love this ship," said Kersch, who spent four years in the U.S. Navy (1966-70).
"It’s the best ship I served on. She was a part of my life for two years. She’s a part of me now."
Kersch was a machinist on the USS New Jersey from 1967 to 1969, as the battleship supported land operations during the Vietnam War.
