    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Trivia: Part of the name is because after a collision, she had to have a significant portion of the bow section of unfinished USS Kentucky transplanted - if memory serves most of the way back to Turret A was lost to a collision. Wis{consin) + KY (Kentucky) = "Wisky".

    Indeed she got it 'on the nose'.



    A bit of trivia for me. I was allowed to hand carry the USS Wisconsin silver punch bowl and ladle to an event across the street from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin where I worked for 22 years. Sterling silver is heavy!
