Ship museums
Okay, let me share those ship museums I am aware of and others can share.....I know the USS New Jersey, Battleship is listed here, then the USS Missouri, Battleship, is at Pearl Harbor, USS Lexington, Aircraft Carrier is at Corpus Christi, Texas. The USS Hornet,Aircraft Carrier, is at Alameda, (Bay Area), California. The USS Intrepid, Aircarft Carrier, is in New City. The USS Alabama, Battleship, is at some Gulf City in Alabama. The USS Laffey, Destroyer, and the USS Yorktown, Aircraft Carrier, are both at Patriot's Point in South Carolina.
I invite others to let us know about ship's museums not yet mentioned.
And, while I am thinking of it I will repeat something you gun nuts might be interested in seeing. 60 miles east of where I live is the Rock Island, Illinois,Arsenal which has been around a long time and has a great history of involvement int he manufacture of famous firearms, such as the 1903 Springfield. Anyway, there is a musuem there full of historic US firearm models. There must be thousands of handguns and rifles and a few pieces of artillery. There are rifles there used by the Indians against Custer. The firearms are cataloged and on display in glass cases with binders sitting available with detailed information on each firearm for viewers to read. Also, after going through the museum drive around the Arsenal grounds a bit and enjoy the nice looking limestone buildings and the view of the Mississippi
River on which the Arsenal sits. Also, there is a graveyard there with graves of Confederate soldiers who died while in the prison camp that was here during the Civil War. All of this is free. You have to pass through a guard shack and show some ID for security purposes but it is not a big hassle.
