USS Alabama, Military museum ship in Mobile, United States.
The vessel spans 680 feet (207 meters) in length and features nine 16-inch (406-millimeter) guns in three turrets, twenty 5-inch (127-millimeter) guns, and dozens of smaller antiaircraft weapons across multiple decks.
After entering service in 1942, the warship participated in eight battle star operations across the Pacific and supported landings in the Marshall Islands, Marianas, and Philippines before decommissioning in 1964 and arriving in Mobile in 1965.
The battleship serves as a floating museum for naval forces and preserves the memory of crew members who served aboard during the war, with personal items and equipment from that era.
The battleship sits in the park off Interstate 10 Exit 27, with on-site parking and level access to main decks, though some lower areas require steep ladders.
Throughout its entire service, the crew suffered no combat casualties, earning it the nickname Lucky A, a rare distinction for a ship that conducted numerous Pacific combat operations.

The historic ships of the United States Navy are a direct testament to the country’s naval development throughout the 20th century. These warships, converted into museums accessible to the public, allow visitors to learn about life onboard and the technologies used during major global conflicts. The collections include Iowa-class battleships such as the USS New Jersey in Camden and the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, destroyers like the USS Laffey in Mount Pleasant, as well as World War II submarines like the USS Cod in Cleveland and the USS Lionfish in Fall River. Visitors can walk the combat decks, examine original weapon systems, and explore preserved interior spaces. The USS Yorktown aircraft carrier at Patriots Point also displays vintage military aircraft, while the Naval Submarine Museum at Keyport features diving equipment and historical torpedoes. These sites, spread across oceans, provide a tangible view of the US Navy's role during Pacific conflicts, the Korean War, and more recent operations, showcasing nearly 80 years of maritime military history.
