Wooden blocks are lowered from a crane onto the missile deck of the decommissioned Iowa-Class Battleship USS Wisconsin (BB-64). The blocks will be used to store empty missile tubes for a BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missile. A total of four empty missile tubes were craned aboard, which will eventually be placed inside of the MK-143 armored box launchers. The empty missile tubes originated from Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, which provides critical fleet ordnance support for the U.S. Navy. The Wisconsin is moored next to Nauticus and the Hampton Roads Naval Museum as a museum ship. (US Navy Photo by Max Lonzanida/Released).
