USS Alabama gets steel donation for restoration
From the USS Alabama Battleship Commission:
SSAB Americas, a global leader in value added, high strength steel and one of the continent’s leading plate suppliers, recently donated 78 tons of steel to the USS Alabama Battleship Commission to be used for restoration efforts on the superstructure of Battleship USS Alabama (BB-60).
Battleship USS Alabama (BB-60) is a National Historic Landmark and recently celebrated the 67th anniversary of her commissioning. Restoration and repairs to her main deck, superstructure, and cannons will require preparation, replacement, and coating of approximately 160,000 square feet of superstructure. The estimated cost of the project is $1.3 million.
With the support of SSAB Americas, the USS Alabama Battleship Commission will be able to continue their mission of memorializing veterans while preserving history for future generations.
Battleship Memorial Park has welcomed more than 13 million visitors from all 50 states and virtually every nation in the world. Last year alone, 332,122 visitors toured the Park with 80% of the visitors from outside the State of Alabama,
USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park has had a local economic impact of $203,257,959 just from admissions revenue in our 45 years of operation. Although an agency of the State of Alabama, the Park has been self-sufficient for daily operations since opening to the public in 1965.
