IT'S NOT PLAGIARISM IF YOU LINK TO IT MANS THE BATTLE STATIONS

Have you ever wanted to party on a battleship? C'mon, you know it's on your bucket list. Well, you can! The USS Iowa will be holding a pep rally for the Hawkeyes on December 31st from 12 PM to 5 PM. Technically, the pep rally isn't ON the battleship but you can tour the ship, which is now a museum at the Port of Los Angeles. Cool stuff about the USS Iowa:

  • It tops out at 33 knots or 38 miles per hour
  • It's almost as long as three football fields

It also has a lot of guns, as seen here:

The coolest part is that residents of Iowa get free admission year round because y'know, go Iowa awesome.
