Bay Area crowds see battleship Iowa off on final voyage

The World War II vessel passes beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, which is marking its 75th birthday, on its way to San Pedro, where it will become a museum.

It was a stirring sight in World War II: the biggest U.S. battleship ever built passing slowly beneath the Golden Gate Bridge and into the Pacific, bound for battle.
