This is a good winter activity for a scout troop or the like. There are a few different museum ships that have this. Our troup did an overnight on an aircraft carrier and it was great fun.
Your phone ain't gonna get much signal when you are enveloped in several layers of steel, so you don't have to worry about work emails.
- gen3 6y agoI have fond memories of visiting and sleeping on the USS Yorktown twice when I was a young scout. A Submarine overnight sounds awesome!
- Simulacra 6y agoPatriots Pointe! Same! Girl Scouts camping on the Yorktown was one of the high points of my childhood!
- datahead 6y agoOvernight on the USS Yorktown (CV-10) was awesome, one of the highlights of all the scouting trips we took. It felt like we had full run of the ship, and my buddies and I explored quite a bit. My first impressions of WWII history and Battle of Midway where USS Yorktown (CV-5) sank were from the tours and videos shown that day.
