Had a fabulous tour guide, I truly enjoy visiting these decommissioned ships, with such wonderful history. My great great grandfather served in the Civil War, my grandfather was an instructor pilot during World War I and my father served on the USS Makassar Strait during World War II as an aircraft mechanic. This is a must for people who enjoy history.
