Own a rare, museum-grade piece of USS New Jersey (BB-62) history with this handcrafted display made from authentic deck teak salvaged directly from the world’s most decorated battleship. This solid teak slab features the ship’s original “BB62” deck stencil, preserved exactly as it appeared during service. The circular impressions and surface markings visible on the wood are impact scars created during wartime when the Battleship’s 5-inch guns were fired, a physical reminder of the shock, pressure, and force the deck endured in combat operations. These markings are authentic — not recreated — and make each piece completely one-of-one. Mounted on a polished teak base, this display highlights the natural grain, weathering, and preserved battle-worn character of the wood. No two pieces are alike, and each carries the ship’s real service history in every scratch, scar, and fiber.
