USS Alabama park in Mobile, Alabama

Here's the view from outside the park entrance gate. At first I noticed an old retired F4 on display at the entrance to the park near the access road. The USS Alabama is in the background, which I was told by a man I was talking to after I shot the video, was the same ship where Cher filmed a music video and also where footage of the movie "Under Siege" was filmed. A retired WW2 US submarine, USS Drum, is also in the background. I have been to this park many times in the past, both the battleship and the sub have access, with the submarine having full access from front to back and also the 2nd level control room. The USS Alabama has most of the areas open access, with only a few lower decks blocked from public access. This park is well worth exploring. Every time i've come here, i've always felt like a curious little kid....every time. I also noticed in the distance that there was an F15 from Eglin AFB, which is a very new addition to the park within 2 months.
