Very cool

BB62 is just two hours away from me via NJ Transit's commuter rail. I have been meaning to go and this has certainly renewed the call.

If you're going to go look into one of the turret tours, I think they call them 'Firepower' something or other now, whatever the name they give you access inside the 16in gunhouse, which you cannot get on any other battleship open to the public presently nor during normal visits. But those tours aren't that often so you gotta check ahead.

Firepower tour is for the ship. They call it Turret II and is definitely one of the main reasons I want to go, but time has always been an issue for me especially when this tour starts at 1100.

I visited Missouri in June and went on a tour that went inside Turret 1. I wouldn't bet on any of the others though.
