Iowa is heading for San Fran http://www.battleshipiowa.org/

Wisconsin is still a naval asset in the Reserve Fleet. http://www.hrnm.navy.mil/Wisconsin.html

I have gotten to see the U.S.S. Wisconsin. She is in Norfolk. The U.S. Navy is keeping her in what they call a Class II readyness level. When I was on board you could only tour the main deck and up to the 03 level. She is in very good shape. Getting to her is a little tricky. She is tied up at a place called Nauticus, a Naval and Maritime museum.
