as aviators we lovenly referred to navy vessels as boats, tin cans, bird farms and those under the the water boats as the bubble heads

Went to see her about 5 years ago.
Great tour and very cool historical ship. Far cry from the size and scope of touring the USS Alabama in Mobile.

I've been on the Missouri a few times, the Albacore and the Midway as a tourist. Missouri is awe-inspiring, subs are too scary to me, feels like a lobster trap!

when i was younger and in the Caveboy Scouts (long before the Boy Scouts was enacted), i went to nearby Mass, to visit the USS Massachusetts. to me, that was an awesome trip, being on the very same ship as our brave service people.
as a youth, i was heavy into all military movies, cuz the bravest man alive was John Wayne
in later years, the seaport got the PT 109, and a sub.
going into the sub, with it's close quarters and forever scent of machine oil, nearly made me throw up.
