Yep, that'll make her a PTO Vet.
She was scrapped in 1959, sad end.
from Wiki
[BB-43 USS TENNESSEE,]1 April 1945, Bombarding Okinawa with her 14"/50 main battery guns, as LVTs in the foreground carry troops to the invasion beaches.
Been searching some on BBs lately and seems everything I hit on, the ship was the lead ship in it's class. USS North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee...Just how many classes of Battleships were there?

There are several and the ship names have been repeated over time. This particular Tennessee was laid down in 1917 an launched in 1919. Commissioned in 1920 she was the lead ship in a class of two the other being the U.S.S. California. Both were present at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th
