USS Lexington, Military museum and aircraft carrier in Corpus Christi, United States.
USS Lexington is a vessel in Corpus Christi, Texas, now serving as a floating museum. The deck holds aircraft from different decades, while interior spaces display equipment and crew cabins.
The ship was built in the 1940s and took part in operations across the Pacific. After the war, it remained in active service for decades before being docked in Texas as a museum.
Visitors walk through narrow corridors and sleeping quarters just as crew members did in everyday service. The spaces aboard show how the crew lived and worked in tight conditions.
Access begins with a ramp from the parking area, and the main deck is reachable on foot. Some sections require stairs, but large portions remain accessible for wheelchairs.
A theater shows films on a giant screen, and visitors can sit in a flight simulator on the upper deck. Pilot cabins remain arranged as they looked during active service.
