The Battleship New Jersey, the nation's most decorated battleship, is undergoing historic dry dock maintenance for the first time in 30 years. It departed Camden and traveled down the Delaware River to the Paulsboro Marine Terminal for ballasting and minor maintenance.

After a week at Paulsboro, it will move to the Philadelphia Naval Yard for about eight weeks of dry dock work. This rare event is significant as inactive battleships seldom move, and dry dock maintenance typically occurs once every 20 to 30 years.
