well the experience was pretty cool actuly but the pretty scary thing was that i was getting a tour og the boat and when we were at the bottom of the boat the tour giude said the boat was hanted. i also did get the feeling of what it would of been like for a sailor my granpa new because he had been on a boat like that in world war 2 he had made the rader systems. ask me any more you want to know about the boat i will tell you.
What I would like to know, is what the hell does political views have to do with U.S. History. These people are insane. There's always been a time and a place for war and this country better be prepared for it if we want to ensure peace.
I do believe that the only other all gun cruiser left afloat from WWII is the HMS Belfast docked on the Thames in London. She is more of a light cruiser however with 6 inch guns.
i have a question
why usa has prived france to have her preserved cruiser ?
or if you don't understand whhy us.navy has sunk the la motte picque cruiser t in 1945 ?????

What was your experience like? Did you get the feeling of what would have been like for the sailors back in the day?

This is the last heavy cruiser left in the world. Her sister ship, the USS Des Moines, which was in excellent condition was scrapped in 2006.

What a shame. Such beautifull ships. I don't think they would scrap this one, since it holds the memorial to the USS Newport News.

The Salem is safe. The Des Moines almost had a home, but the anti-war crowd said no, so the navy had her scrapped.
