US Navy • Battleship Wisconsin

A video segment produced to support Navy Week Madison Wisconsin in July 2020. This segment includes organic footage and images of the Wisconsin silver service, which was originally presented to USS Wisconsin (BB 9) in 1901 and again to USS Wisconsin (BB 64) in 1943 by the People of Wisconsin to both ships that bears the state’s namesake. The silver service was eventually accessioned by the Naval History and Heritage Command after Wisconsin was decommissioned in 1991; it is now on display at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum in Norfolk, Virginia.
