Very interesting ship

There are a couple of these mermaids

A very impressive battleship from World War II, which, after several decommissionings and recommissions, remained in service until the 1990s, where it was regularly modernized. It was only finally struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 2006 and donated to the city of Norfolk as a museum ship. You can tour many areas of the ship, including the upper deck and the interior. Despite the relatively high admission price, a visit to the ship is definitely worthwhile for anyone interested in technology and naval history. If you'd like to see a few more sights, you should purchase the Passport for Fun for just over $50. This allows you to visit the ship, the Oceanographic Museum, the Botanical Garden, and the Norfolk Zoo, in addition to the ship. A little tip: Navy personnel in uniform are admitted free!
