USS Yorktown

the USS Yorktown (The Fighting Lady) is an Aircraft Carrier that was commissioned on April 15, 1943, decommissioned in 1970 and dedicated as a museum in 1975.

Bunkhouse...

The first ship to offer dentistry...  I assume more were pulled than fixed.
tough job manning the controls...
anyone for cookies?
on the Flight Deck...

I do a much better job docking the pontoon, I really need help from first mate Rum Runner Rose!
There is about 130 rooms to view along with a Congressional Medal of Honor Museum, about 26 historic Military Aricraft on the Hanger Deck, a flight simulator, a submarine and the Vietnam naval Support Base.
A great tour, next lunch at a local restuarant on Shems creek.  Fabulous shimp and oysters...  Have not had a bad shimp or oyster yet...
