South Dakota’s Most Famous Ship
The legendary Battleship last sailed the ocean waters over 74 years ago, and in September of 2019, the U.S.S. South Dakota Memorial celebrated its 50th anniversary.
It's almost impossible not to be overcome with a sense of history and pride for the fabled ship when you visit its memorial in Sioux Falls.
