You'll explore reconstructed crew quarters, command centres, and the main deck with its impressive artillery displays. The ship's exhibits feature original communication equipment, authentic memorabilia, and personal accounts from sailors who served during major conflicts including the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Korean War, and Operation Desert Storm.
