Basically, the Battleship Oregon was destroyed during WWII, but not in a battle. Since the late '20s, it had been a floating museum moored on the Willamette River in downtown Portland, Ore. In 1942, after WWII broke out, it was towed downriver, where its non-functioning guns were removed, along with the superstructure -- the above-deck buildings. The hull then was used as an ammunition barge, hauling explosives around the South Pacific for the Allies. It was scrapped in Japan -- how ironic -- in 1957.
