What is the world's longest battleship?
Although the Japanese battleship, the Yamato is billed as the world's largest battleship, at 887 feet it is not the longest.
The title of the world's longest battleship goes to the USS New Jersey (BB-62), a part of the Iowa-class.
The USS New Jersey is a whopping 887.7 feet or 271 meters long.
The USS New Jersey was launched on December 07, 1942 and decommissioned on February 08, 1991. She now serves as a museum at Camden, New Jersey.
The USS Iowa (BB-61), also part of the Iowa-class comes in a close second at 887.6 feet, followed by the USS Wisconsin (BB-64) at 887.2 feet.

The USS Wisconsin has its own distinction. It wasn't the longest or most heavy or even had the best band. Not this
BB, even compared to others that are absolutely inferior,
yet USS Wisconsin had a true distinction. You said it,
bub. It has attraction. Thousands of squid called it home.
Even other hulls that get too close are sucked in.
