I mean, show it to her. I've been onboard before, back when I was a kid.

Also spent the night on school field trips at Fort Point, and on The Thayer circa 1977.

My grandfather did some welding on it.

Would NOT have wanted to be on board it during wartime

I'd have to have a 24/7 constant IV infusion of benzodiazepines....

My wife would not get on that, for any reason

I shouldn't have been surprised at the cramped quarters but I was definitely hit with some claustrophobia. Worth a visit.

I toured the Drum and the USS Alabama battleship. One HUGE ship and one small boat. Very tight on a WW2 sub. I think in Chicago there is a WW2 German U Boat on display also..
Tools of war for sure.. US sub casualties were high. 1 in 5 of the crews died..

German losses were worse.. 3 out of 4 were lost. Same stats for the Japanese.

It's near where they have the bay tour that takes you around Alcatraz Island.
