Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum was officially opened to the public on January 3, 1976. Today the museum consists of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10) with 29 aircraft on display from WWII to the present; the USS Laffey (DD-724), a Sumner-class destroyer; and the USS Clamagore (SS-343), a GUPPY III submarine.

Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum Mount Pleasant, SC. THANK YOU VETERANS OF ALL SERVICES You must see Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum when visiting Charleston, SC. The initial size of the U.S.S Yorktown is overwhelming, then being on the flight deck OMG the beauty of the various models of planes, the harbor, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. bridge and Fort Sumter in the distance is awesome. Below deck you get to see the various support locations, plus the mechanical equipment needed to make this ship function. Please make sure you don’t forget to visit the Vietnam Army Museum.

Self guided tour with lots of information. If you bought a ticket for something else in the city, for example the Palmetto carriage rides, you can get in for free. This was a very interesting place to visit, very relaxing as well. Would definitely recommend.
