   I do not think the Missouri was ever in Portland (at least not since   
   1968).  The New Jersey was during a Rose Festival some years ago, mored   
   above the Broadway Bridge.  Was a great sight to watch it plowing down   
   the Columbia from a vantage point near Longview.  Did board the Missouri   
   when it was mored at PSNSY at Bremerton many years ago.   
      
   The Missouri was mored in Astoria for a few days while under tow to   
   Hawaii to become a museum ship.   
      
   Do not know where the Wisconsin, Iowa and New Jersey are now.
