Operation Desert Storm (January and February 1991) didn't give them much time for shooting. The campaign only lasted about 45 days. Only two of the 4 Iowa Class Battleships made a showing for DS. USS Missouri expended 759 16" shells, and 28 Cruise Missiles; USS Wisconsin fired 319 16" shells, and 24 Cruise Missiles. USS Iowa may have had some mechanical problems and couldn't show up. USS New Jersey was pretty worn out, she had served on the gunline during the Vietnam War for about a year (1968-1969), firing nearly 6,000 16 inch shells, and nearly 15,000 5" shells at communist targets. She was an "all-gun battleship" during the Vietnam War.
