” Tight Squeeze — USS Iowa in the Miraflores Lock, Panama Canal, 2001 “ The USS Iowa crosses the Panama Canal at Miraflores Lock near Panama City, Panama Wednesday, March 28, 2001. At 108.2 feet wide, the Iowa-class battleships are the largest vessels ever to scrape their way through the 110-foot-wide locks of the canal. They were designed so that they could just fit through the waterway. (AP Photo/Tomas Munita) More Info:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Iowa_(BB-61)  View high resolution
