USS Alabama.....a worthy stop if you are driving to the panhandle of Florida.


We made this trip over Memorial Day and there was no way we were going to pass up the opportunity to see this piece of history Covid-19 or not.

Going below deck made me have a new respect for the sailors who lost their lives on ships like this at Pearl Harbor and the many battles after that.  New found respect for sailors who are often overlooked if they are not a part of the SEAL teams.

A view from the highest point you can access.

This picture doesn't do justice to how big the ship is.  Allow a couple of hours to do it right.
