^ under the cool story bro category - I had a chance to briefly visit the docked ship New Jersey when I was in philly a number of years ago. I wish I had budgeted more time for this visit as it was very impressive. I was most intrigued by this small room by one of the forward guns, you really needed to shimmy into it and while I was looking at it I was trying to wrap my head around how a person sitting in this room could even function under war conditions with the guns going off and the operator had no view of the outside.
I also find the docents on these ships to be amazing to talk with, as they have tons of knowledge and experience.
