Four USS New York's Destroyed by U.S.-- Part 2
From Wikipedia.
The fourth USS New York destroyed by the United States was the battleship USS New York (BB-34) which fought in World War I and World War II. It is believed to be the only U.S. ship to sink a U-boat in WW I.
During WW II, it was involved in the invasion of North Africa, convoy duty, a training ship and then went to the Pacific where it was at Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
It then became part of Operation Crossroads as a test ship, surviving two atom bomb blasts before being used as naval target practice and being sunk.
An Interesting and Full Career. --Brock-Perry
