What travellers say about Norfolk

user-avatar
山水待相逢13 November 2024
4.0
Wisconsin played an important role in World War II, the Korean War and the Gulf War. In the Pacific battlefield of World War II, it participated in key battles such as the Battle of Lingayen Gulf, the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa, and contributed to the victory of the anti-fascist war. The battleship Wisconsin is a warship with an important historical status and excellent performance. Its existence is not only of great military significance, but also plays an important role in cultural and historical heritage.
