Tour historic decks and hear sailor stories
Start with the Life of a Sailor Experience, a self-guided tour across seven decks with immersive exhibits, presidential history, sailor stories, and a Vicky the Dog scavenger hunt. Then join a crew-led tour through spaces not included on the standard tour, including the 5-inch gun house, ammunition handling rooms, magazines, fire control center, and the inside of one of the ship's 16-inch gun turrets. Hear stories from crew members as you explore these areas.
