| Battleship Wisconsin |
| Experience the thrill of being aboard the U.S. Navy’s Iowa-class battleship, USS Wisconsin. Stand on the teak decks beneath Wisky’s towering 16-inch guns and make your way to the Tomahawk and Harpoon missile launchers. You can also experience what it was like being a sailor aboard the Wisconsin by peeking into the interior quarters of the ship's officers. Don’t forget to stop in at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum and see over 225 years of local Navy history illustrated in our 50-plus exhibits. Our knowledgeable staff of volunteers is always on-site and eager to answer any questions. There are fun activities for kids such as word puzzles and scavenger hunts, so bring the whole family. USS Wisconsin is operated by the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, located next to Nauticus at Norfolk's Elizabeth River Waterfront. |

 | | G Stahlman, Co-op Member | | We toured the Wisconsin while visiting our military son who had just returned from deployment. It was an awesome tour. The museum is informational and the battleship was a huge walking tour. We took the kids on all levels and climbed in and out of different parts. There were some knowledgeable former sailors on board who gave us statistics about sizes of anchors, weights, and the actual use of the ship. Even on a very hot and humid day, we enjoyed every moment. |
