The WW2 battleship USS New Jersey is being moved down the Delaware River tomorrow (4/21) with a planned start around 11am. The ship is to be drydocked for hull repairs, the first time in 32 years.
[EDIT: Move time is set for 12:10 to coincide with high tide]
It will be floated from its moaring in Camden to the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, a distance of about 5 miles.

The USS Texas was moved last year for similar drydock work and just refloated earlier this month as work continues before it is moved to a new home in Galveston.
