It is the USS Alabama. She is down in Mobile, about a three hour drive from where we live. Theyhave the battleship, the submarine USS Drum, a gun boat, and a whole bunch of aircraft. Unfortunatly, the aircraft building is still closed due to damage from Hurricane Katrina. I am jelous because the Boy Scout troop I am in now went to Charleston, South Carolina and got to spend a week on the USS Yorktown, a WWII aircraft carrier. That is something I have always wanted to do but they went a year before I joind. :cry2 I have always wanted to see a real aircraft carrier. Which ships have you been on? Were they on display or still active? I heard that when the US NAvy wants to impress people, they give them a tour of a modern aircraft carrier, regardless of wether they were civillians or not. I heard that they stopped doing that after 9/11 though. Now I'll never get to see a real modern aircraft carrier. There aren't any on display except the old WWII ones. :cry2
