Battleship Cove

Yeah, I know. It's been a while since Adam and I have done anything cool. I guess we've gotten lazy. 
Well, we broke our lame streak and went to Battleship Cove! Adam has been begging to go here for a very long time!
It was pretty amazing! We got to tour a PT boat, submarine, heavy cruiser, destroyer and a battleship. All of the ships had been built and used for WWII and then were upgraded and used in subsequent wars.
Currently, all the ships have been decommissioned and are open for tours.

The submarine. It was super small in the inside. There is definitely no way I could have been on a submarine.


The battleship from the outside. It was so large on the inside, I'm sure there are parts we missed. This ship had so many guns it was ridiculous. I couldn't imagine actually serving in the Navy and using the guns for real. It was super crazy! 





This is the cruiser. There were some cute veterans on this ship that were very informative. They had both actually served on the ship while they were in the service. It was interesting to hear how the ship had changed in appearance for viewing purposes since it had been decommissioned.

This is the destroyer. It was a pretty fun time, so much in fact, Adam's ready to go again!
