USS Alabama, Military museum ship in Mobile, United States.

Description

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.

History

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.

Culture

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.

Practical

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.

Did you know?

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.
