This place was super! it broke my heart to see several of the aircraft still damaged from Katrina, WWII and Korean ear. However this place was still awsome. good ammount of groud vehicles and aircraft on display not to mention the battle ship and submarine. best of all though is if you go there on the right day there is a very cognasant survivor of the Bataan Death march selling his book. Pretty amazing to talk to him. good museum well rounded and Mobile is beautiful to drive through, deffinetaly going back.

I toured the entire ship from bow to stern. What an encredible ship! When I got home, I was telling my Uncle Earl Finch, all about the Alabama, at which time he asked if I saw his picture. Turns out he served on the Alabama during WW2, Gunners mate 5 inch mount.

FANTASTIC. Had a ball. Very friendly staff. Some of the aircraft are gone. The ones that are damaged are being restored. It all takes time and money. Don't forget to tour the USS Alabama and the USS Drum.

We have been staying overnight with our NJROTC cadets for five or six years now. Our cadets look forward to it each year. As a matter of fact I will be departing school in less than an hour from now for this years first overnight on the Alabama. I would like to see area JROTC units (LA, MS, AL, FL)along with all scout groups come together one weekend to help preserve this icon for the future cadets and scouts.

I recently returned from my fourth visit in the past five years to USS Alabama (BB 60) with my Navy Junior ROTC unit. It is my favorite part of our annual orientation trips to NAS Pensacola and the Gulf Coast area. The facilities restoration work will take significant continued effort, but even with the impact of hurricane Katrina, USS Alabama remains a wonderful tour opportunity. Their aircraft collection deserves private support during its restoration period.

I am writng the story of the H-21 helicopter and would like to obtain copies of any photographs you have of your museums H-21. Any photograph used will be properly credited to your museum. Any assistance you might provide would be greatly appreciated. Your tour of the battleship Alabama is second to none.
