High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This article is about the USS Tennessee (BB-43), a U.S. Navy battleship, during the year 1944. In the early morning of 13 January 1944, Tennessee set her course for Hawaii with Task Unit 58.5.1 and anchored in Lahaina Roads off Maui on 21 January. That day, the ship was inspected by a group headed by Undersecretary of the Navy James Forrestal. On 29 January, Tennessee, with Forrestal on board, headed for the Marshalls. D-Day was set for 31 January 1944. As one attack force landed on the unoccupied Majuro Atoll, the major force approached Kwajalein. Tennessee, Pennsylvania (BB-38), and two destroyers took up their stations 2,900 yards (2.7 km) to the east of the atoll. At 0625, Tennessee catapulted off her observation floatplanes; and, at 0701, she began throwing 14 inch (356 mm) salvoes at Japanese pillboxes on Roi Island.
