This is a self-guided tour that lets you see the USS Yorktown and other Navel ships. The Yorktown was impressive since I've never been on a Aircraft carrier before, but they had other things going on so some of the area's where closed off to the public, The Clagamore (the sub) was closed for renovations so that was out of...

Wife and I toured the USS Yorktown, and what an awesome experience! If your claustrophobic at all, which were not, it might feel a little confining. Also, there is no shortage of climbing very small stairways throughout the ship, so keep that in mind and where comfortable shoes. If you are a "germaphobe," or I'd say if it was flu... More

The volunteer staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any... More

Touring an aircraft carrier is one of the things I have always wanted to do. Not only was it awesome to walk around an aircraft carrier but they had a lot of great planes on board as well. More
