Boatload of memories: Former crew members Bryan Moss, left, and Dick Blair look at the USS Iowa as it is towed to the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, Calif., on Wednesday. The 887-foot long, 58,000-ton battlewagon will be transformed into an interactive naval museum. The battleship was first commissioned in 1943 and saw action in World War II and the Korean War. It was decommissioned for the final time in 1990.
