The BB-62 Travel Bug wants to visit any of the Military themed caches in the world.
If you can't place it in a cache with a Military theme just keep it moving along.
The real BB-62 was built at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, and launched December 7, 1942- just a year after the Pearl Harbor Attack brought America into WWII.

The USS NEW JERSEY (BB62) was actually the second ship to be called “NEW JERSEY”, the first being BB16, a turn of the century (19th century) battleship. The first Battleship New Jersey (BB-16) was a Virginia class pre-dreadnought that served from 1906 until she was sunk as a bombing target in 1922. She sailed with the Great White Fleet and served her country in World War I as a training vessel.
The NEW JERSEY was decommissioned for the last time on February 8,1991 at Bremerton, Washington where she resided until heading home to New Jersey. She was officially stricken from the Navy list on February 12,1995 but was then ordered reinstated by an order of congress as a mobilization asset under Bill 1024 section 1011. On January 4, 1999 NEW JERSEY was again stricken from the Navy list and IOWA replaced her as a mobilization asset. On September 12, 1999 NEW JERSEY began her Final Voyage home from Bremerton, where she had rested in mothballs for the last 8 years. On November 11th, she arrived at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Since that time, she has been restored, opened and established as an educational museum and a tribute to the brave sailors who served on her during her long and distinguished career. The Battleship New Jersey opened as a Museum and Memorial in October 2001.

Retrieved from Bloodhounds.
I think, we can place this Bug in a Swiss Air Force Airport (Emmen).
There was the Maintenance Place for the Bloodhound Rokets.
DE:
Aus dem Bloodhounds-Cache genommen.
Vielleicht können wir den TB im Militärflugplatz Emmen platzieren. Dort wurden die Bloodhounds-Raketen gewartet.
(Vielleicht ist die Überstezung etwas schlecht. Dafür wäre mein noch nicht ganz ausgereiftes Englisch verantwortlich und nicht Etwa der Google Übersetzer oder so.🤕)
