This is pretty common among museum ships. I remember sleeping over on the USS Massachusetts (Battleship Cove) when I was young, and I've been watching the USS New Jersey's youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Ftxa2jwg8R4IWDw48uyBw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_Ftxa2jwg8R4IWDw48uyBw) and I know they do it as well.
Relevant also is the Smarter Every Day series where the host took a cruise on an operational nuclear submarine. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjHf9jaFs8XWoGULb2HQRvhzBclS1yimW https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjHf9jaFs8XWoGULb2HQR...
- jpm_sd 6y agoYes! I loved our Battleship Cove trip in Cub Scouts. We also got to tour an old submarine. It had a very particular old timey chemical smell to it that I've only ever encountered in one other place; Building 20 at MIT (RIP).

- op00to 6y agoasbestos doesn't smell.
- FlyMoreRockets 6y agoYSK about Tiger Cruises, where family can come aboard the ship to see what day to day life is like. https://www.defense.gov/observe/photo-gallery/igphoto/2001186639/ https://www.defense.gov/observe/photo-gallery/igphoto/200118...
