Great shots. Been on the Wisconsin, North Carolina, Alabama, Massachusetts and Texas. All these battle wagons are great. The best one for visits in the Alabama. They let you go everywhere. The turrets with the 16" guns, the ammo storage areas, I climbed into the 5" gun houses, engine rooms, etc. Great experience.

Nice shots, luxury accommodations compared to what we had, is that an ASROC battery? didn't know they were fitted with them.

A great set of photos! Those WWII era battleships were impressive. Compare the quarters here to those on a sub of that era.

If you're referring to the tubes, I think those are Harpoon missile launchers added during the battleship reavtivation/modernization program.
