Our first adventure after reaching Hampton Roads was to tour the Battleship Wisconsin. With rain forecasted to begin around 2 pm and the Wisconsin opening at noon we knew we had a narrow window to explore this magnificent ship. The Wisconsin served in WWII, Korean Conflict, and Operation Desert Storm. After its retirement, it was transferred to the City of Norfolk and now serves as a Museum.

and docked nearby, we saw smaller historical recreations:

The majority of the interior of this ship is closed due to COVID,
but the open portion was fraught with risks for the taller among us:
