The New Jersey served two tours during the Korean War, the first in 1951 which is mentioned in the brochure, and again in 1953. The ship was based on the US east coast during the period around 1952. After a number of activations and a long career, the ship is now at Camden New Jersey.
The USS Missouri brochure is from about 1981. The ship was in based or in mothballs at Bremerton Navy Yard in Bremerton Washington from 1954 to 1984, and then from 1992 to 1998. The ship is now in Hawaii.
The brochures are about 5 x 7, and just consists of one folded piece of paper. The New Jersey one does have a mark of the front, and two small marks and a small spot on back. The Missouri one is in excellent condition.
