点评:We drove all the way from San Antonio to visit this as my interest is Military History and this was certainly worth the drive (even the really weird part through a kind of post apocalypse industrial wasteland near the coast !).
What can one say - how can you not love visiting an aircraft Carrier ?!?! Highlight is the flight deck and some interesting aircraft - not least a F14 Tomcat which was in Top Gun 1 as well as a host of other aircraft, generally cold war vintage.
There are numerous self guided tour routes around the ship - accessing numerous parts of the vessel. One aspect which other carriers one can visit are better than this one is in other historic ships one can enter many of the "cool" rooms (I am a radar engineer and the operation room is a cool room) but in this one many are cordoned off so you view through large perspex screens. I guess it helps preserve the equipment but its always great to actually get into operations / radar rooms.
As some have written there are a lot of steps to get around - but thats part of the basic fact its a very large ship, although those who struggle with steep steps may struggle - as they would with any ship.
On the upside this ship has far more welcoming warm chatty staff !
All in all we loved this ship - 3 hours very well spent.

怎么说呢 - 你怎能不喜欢参观航空母舰?!亮点是飞行甲板和一些有趣的飞机 - 尤其是《壮志凌云 1》中的 F14 雄猫战机以及许多其他飞机,通常是冷战时期的老式飞机。
船上有许多自助游览路线 - 可以进入船上的许多部分。其他可以参观的航空母舰比这艘更好的一个方面是,在其他历史悠久的船只中,你可以进入许多“很酷”的房间(我是一名雷达工程师,操作室是一个很酷的房间),但在这艘船上,许多房间都被封锁了,所以你只能通过大型有机玻璃屏幕观看。我想这有助于保护设备,但真正进入操作室/雷达室总是很棒的。
正如一些人所写,要绕过很多台阶 - 但这是这艘船非常大的基本事实的一部分,尽管那些难以爬上陡峭台阶的人可能会遇到困难 - 就像他们乘坐任何船一样。
好的一面是,这艘船有更热情、更健谈的工作人员!
总的来说,我们喜欢这艘船 - 非常值得度过的 3 个小时。
