Aboard the USS Alabama

Headed back to Mobile Bay to tour the battleship Alabama and the
submarine Drum. Drove along some cotton fields on the way there.
Another sunny, gorgeous day. Not too busy and a lot to see. The
battleship is the main attraction but there is also the USS Drum, a
Gato Class WWII sub, a B-52, an SR-71 Blackbird, F-16, F-15, F-18 and
many other planes. I'd seen all the planes before when I visited the US
Airforce Museum in Dayton. They also had a life size replica of the CSS
Hunley submarine down by the Drum.

Amazing how big the inside of those 16" gun turrets are on the Alabama.
A nice view of the Mobile skyline.
