same goes for being in SoCal and going to visit the USS Iowa in San Pedro. it also has similar mechanical computers, it's a fantastic day spent clambering around the ship. sometimes they do "stay overnight in the bunks" nights, I can highly recommend it!
- teqsun 2y agoFor anyone along the Northeastern corridor, the USS New Jersey in Camden is another well-preserved Iowa class museum ship.
- mrguyorama 2y agoThe Battleship New Jersey has a good youtube channel where the head curator walks you through some things. https://www.youtube.com/@BattleshipNewJersey https://www.youtube.com/@BattleshipNewJersey They also sell broken parts of the ship that they fix up as souvenirs, like the entire deck's worth of wooden planking, and for $1000 you can take a tour where the mildly charismatic head curator takes you into the smallest and hardest to reach parts of the ship! Or fire a 5 inch gun, you know, if that's more your speed.

- teqsun 2y agoFor $1k it's just a blank round. But if you donate $1M, you're allowed to shoot the USS New Jersey's curator Jordan with an HE shell from the 16" guns.
