About this tour

Walk the decks of one of the last battleships the U.S. Navy ever built, poking around at whatever holds your attention and taking as long as you like. A free companion app adds augmented reality, short videos, and stories along the way, plus a scavenger hunt to keep kids busy. It's a self-guided visit, so there's no set schedule to follow.
