History rarely follows a straight path, and Mobile, Alabama’s history is no different. Our 300-year-story winds and turns like the Tombigbee River. And like that river, we have embraced the currents that have made us who we are today. Our traditions span centuries, but it’s far from over. Come visit Mobile’s living history and help us write the next chapter. #VisitMobile #MobileAL #OurLivingHistory | Visit Mobile

On the anniversary of her launching, we present views of the South Dakota-class battleship USS Alabama BB-60 at Norfolk Navy Yard, VA on 16 February 1942. The USS ALABAMA saw 37 months of active duty during World War II, earning nine Battle Stars.
