Oh my goodness! This is awesome! The whole family enjoyed the tour of the USS Slater! Tour guides are awesome! It was $7 a person and worth it!! I was not too thrilled to go, but my kids wanted to and we had a complete blast! We learned so much about WWII and the USS Slater.

I've seen WWII era ships at 3 other locations and this is my favorite of a total of 10...

A retired seaman who served on this ship, or one like it will guide you around. Easy parking, and appropriate entry fee, considering the volunteer staff maintain the ship themselves.
