Visit exhibits and restored spaces such as Combat Information Center (CIC), the Torpedo Workshop, Apollo, and the Island Superstructure. View vintage aircraft and historic spacecraft up close. Discover rarely visited spaces and hear authentic sea stories from your veteran tour guide. You might even catch a glimpse of a mermaid off the fantail…
