I very much doubt that Iowa's going to be a drop in the browser version considering she was a reward in Kai. If she's not just a plain old Event EO reward, I see one of three things happening:
 * She's the first REWARD ship to be restricted to Medium and/or Hard (unlikely)
 * Completing final Event map on Med/Hard gives an "Overseas Reinforcement" item or somesuch. Using a specific LSC recipe allows you to use the item and get a guaranteed Iowa build.
 * She's a reward for a new Quest-chain that would probably involve beating a new map (X-6? 6-4?) and completing a long-as-hell expedition.
