Ken, from Loop Dreams, and Bob wanted to visit the USS Alabama Memorial Park so together we rented a  car and we all took a drive.   The USS Alabama is a battleship and the ship and all displays are supported by donations.  The ship is open for self-guided tours and you can go from the engine room all the way up to just below the conning tower.  The ship has been restored and there are many items on display inside.

Welcome Aboard!!

This gives you an idea how HUGE the guns are

On site there is also a restored submarine.  It is amazing just how narrow and small this ship was and how confined the crew of 36 men!

To get through the hatches, you had to step over and duck your head!
