Yep, great military museum, been there more than a few times. Highly recommended, great for kids and adults. They do sleep-overs for Boy Scout/Girl Scout units, have special events / fund raisers (just had a big VA gathering, USO has done stuff, some uber-rich even rent it out for private events). If you go again, don't miss the movie, about 30 minutes of WW II stuff telling the "fighting Lady's" story.

They have lots of aircraft on display, a new one of some sort (I forget) just arrived the last few weeks. I have not done the tour, but see it often driving over the big bridge. They hauled off the destroyer Laffey to have the hull fixed up, got that done, now can't pay the bill or to get its berth fixed up, it is sitting at some other dock now running up bills. There is a submarine there too, the Claghorn? or something like that. --R On 9/11/10 9:43 AM, WILTON wrote: > 20+ years ago in Charleston, SC, SWMBO and I were beginning a visit or > tour of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise(?)
