The real U.S.S. Wisconsin BB-64, often nicknamed “Big Wisky,” was an Iowa-class battleship commissioned in April 1944. Built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, she joined the Pacific Fleet later that year and served in the final campaigns of World War II. Wisconsin supported major operations around Iwo Jima and Okinawa and later helped shell targets in the Japanese home islands before the war ended.

Wisconsin continued her long service after World War II. She was recommissioned during the Korean War, where she provided naval gunfire support for United Nations and South Korean forces. Decades later, she was modernized and returned to service again for Operation Desert Storm, making her one of the few battleships to serve across World War II, Korea, and the Gulf War.

Today, the real U.S.S. Wisconsin is preserved as a museum ship at Nauticus in Norfolk, Virginia, where visitors can walk the decks of this legendary warship.
