The USS Yorktown and a destroyer are moored here opposite the old town of Charleston. We had a very good tour that told us a lot about the ship.
A witness to two wars, then a hospital for a short time and now a museum. Anyone interested in history should take a look.

The Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is located in Mount Pleasant, directly across from Charleston, South Carolina, and is one of the most famous naval museums in the United States. It opened in 1976 and attracts many visitors each year who want to learn more about the history of the U.S. Navy. The museum's centerpiece is the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, a World War II veteran. On board are over 25 historic aircraft and the Medal of Honor Museum, which honors the United States' highest military decoration.
