Access to the ship is good on the self-guided tour , and the posted explanations are very helpful. The more expensive guided tour includes some more access, like the flag bridge .

This 1944 battleship served in World War II, as well as the Korean and Gulf Wars. It was finally retired in 1991 and has since been entrusted to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum . (From Aerial America) Read more

Great place to get a glimpse of naval history. Be prepared that not all areas in the ship are climate-controlled (just like the heroes that lived and served on the ship experienced)

Guido Gybels

Visit a real battleship, a castle of steel. The Wisconsin is part of the naval museum in Norfolk and well worth a detour. A really historically relevant ship .

Chad Hembree

This is an incredible piece of American history. You can spend half a day wandering around this floating city . If you get the chance to visit don't skip it.
