There was a USS Wisconsin hat I had for when I take my scale RC Battleships to the lake. I figured I would never get mistaken for a servicemen since I am so young and because Iowa class battleships retired long before I was born.
My father served on the battleship Wisconsin as a Midshipman First Class during the summer of 1959. I know they sailed through the Panama Canal and he told me that there was just barely enough for them to pass.

That’s so cool! I’m a colossal ship nerd, hence the hat. I will admit I bought a Philippine Seas hat because that was the ship my grandfather served on during peacetime. But I don’t plan to wear the hat out in public. Those hats with ships on them are the coolest snapbacks ever.

That’s also cool because I didn't realize the Wisconsin was in service that long.
