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.

My Father was an Air force mechanic. He worked on and flew as part of a flight crew. His picture and the crew he flew w/ is at the park. My father told me when I was very young that he was part of a crew that picked up an aircraft and rebuilt the plane after flying the parts to the USS Alabama Mem. Park, Mobile. I have not seen the picture yet, but my brother has. Would there be any possible way to e-mail me the Photo? His name and rank was Sargent William E. Baldwin.

I just completed my third visit to the "Lucky A" and still am in awe of the firepower such a ship can project. Be a historian, I notice the improvements being made to tell the story of this fantastic ship. I'm sorry to see the damage corrosion has done to the USS Drum, however she is still the only WWII submarine that allows visits to the conning tower. I highly recommend a visit to the Memorial Park and suggest at least allowing a half day to truly immerse yourself in the history of these fantastic ships.
