The Iowa is the battleship San Francisco just can't seem to descend.
The Board of Supervisors flat out rejected a offer last year to bring the World War II-era ship to the city by the bay and turn it into a tourist attraction, declaring there's no room for a warship in anti-war San Francisco.
But Iowa backers persisted and tried to win over support by offering to use a portion of the historic ship as a museum for the military's don't-ask-don't-tell policy on gays and lesbians. They pitched holding an annual peace meeting on the ship.
