Yorktown. 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.

20+ years ago in Charleston, SC, SWMBO and I were beginning a visit or
tour of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise(?) (built during WW II)
moored in the Cooper River. I had long wanted to tour one, and I was
finally about to step onto one. My anticipation and joy were soon
dashed, though. The instant SWMBO'S foot touched the flight deck as she
stepped from the well-built "gangway," she said, "Oh, I feel sick." The
ship, indeed, was not moving, but she thought it just might do so. We
left a few minutes later after a very quick stroll around the far inward
part of the deck. I vowed to go back some day by my self. 'Haven't yet.

This reminds me of the tour we did of the sub that is moored in SF
harbour http://www.maritime.org/pamphome.htm was kinda scary as it was
moving a bit, my son absolutely hated it.
