Pacific Battleship Center

Veterans program - our veterans program, known as veterans west, serves approximately 25,000 former service members, of all ages and branches, annually. Veterans west operates out of the veterans resource center aboard battleship iowa, a place where service members and their families are welcomed and respected, where they can socialize, enjoy the camaraderie of other veterans in a unique setting, and benefit from a variety of programs and activities to help them re-connect and re-engage in a civilian world. Currently, about half of our volunteer crew is composed of veterans.
