Battleship USS Massachusetts was built in Quincy , Massachusetts at the Fore River Shipyard and  launched on September 23, 1941. She was soon to be known by her crew as  "Big Mamie".  She initially was in North Africa and fired  the first American 16" projectile in anger of World War II. Then, after a refit in 1943 spent the balance of WW2 in the Pacific including and Big Mamie's 16" guns pounded the Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands , Truk, Iwo Jima and Okinawa before those islands were invaded in 1945. By July of that year she was off Japan with the Third Fleet.  Battleship USS Massachusetts fired the last American 16" projectile of the war.
     With peace achieved, "Big Mamie" returned to the United States and operated with the Pacific Fleet until mid-1946. Currently, with the assistance of Massachusetts school children, they raised enough money to bring Big Mamie to Fall River in June 1965. Now the centerpiece of Fall River 's revitalized waterfront "Big Mamie" has been welcoming visitors for more than a quarter century.
