The rest of the Museum spaces on the ship are open so you can see all our iconic aircraft (including our F-14 Tomcat just like those in Top Gun), Apollo artifacts and Space Race History, and all the ship’s areas and exhibits below decks where sailors worked and lived from World War II to the ship’s decommissioning in 1970. This includes the Sickbay, Torpedo Workshop, Marine Corps Living Spaces, a Pilot Ready Room, special exhibits, and so much more! There is something for everyone.
