Anyone been to the USS Alabama?

I've been on it. Really something, huh.

I'm a volunteer there once a week. I just found the room where the caterers bring the food down to the engine room and shoot the guy in the leg. A lot of the scenes are easily seen on the ship (Ward Room, Galley, Engine room, "flight deck" (it was modded to be like a Iowa class), etc.)
If you can spot one of the hard working staff members, they would be happy to point out some of the stories and areas for you. Most of them were there when the movie was filmed. Ask about the cake scene, it's quite comical!
Also, apparently when they fired the 16mm, they used too much pyro, and it caused one of the two cameramen to get blasted overboard, along with the camera and blast shield. Similarly, the helicopter prop that was blown up used too much pyro, and it blew out the glass windows of the gift shop! It aslo caused a small fire on the flight deck that had to be extinguished expeditiously.

There are plenty more tales that they can tell you. Some can even point you to the hanger that some of the other scenes were filmed (any indoor explosions or firefights appear to have been shot off sight.)

Aside form the movie, it is really a great park! the aircraft pavilion has aircraft in there that even the Naval Aviation museum in Pensacola doesn't have. They just received word that if they can raise the funds, they are going to get an aircraft in there that right now now other museum has! They rely heavily on donation, so please give to this historic park.

I've been on the USS Alabama several times myself. I'm a big WWII history buff, so I've enjoyed each visit immensely...it seems that I never budget enough time for when I'm in the area. You mentioned the other planes, ships, etc in the park. I will never forget the first time I visited the submarine....I was utterly blown away with how tiny the sub really is, and found myself imagining what it must've been like aboard that ship for weeks on end, and in harm's way every second of the voyage. I quickly formed a deep and longlasting high opinion of the men who went to war in those submarines...from the obvious....that it must take a very special individual serving as a crewman who is willing to serve aboard what is essentially a large sardine can...to the not-so-obvious.....the utterly astonishing leaderhip required of the officers, both in setting a good example for their men to follow as well as their own respect of Naval regulations and the underlying absolutely uncompromising knowledge, repsect and acceptance of Naval regulations.

Yes, I have been to Battleship Park in Mobile Alabama, and enjoyed it very much, very cramped quarters to say the least, as was the submarine USS Drum, plus all the retired aircraft, I actually snuck over the velvet ropes and had my girl take a photo of me sitting in one, but anyone looking for a good cheap weekend getaway, I recommend the Alabama/Mississippi gulf coast, as Gulf Shores and Orange Beach with Battleship park, as well as the many casinos in Biloxi Mississippi an hour drive from there, and only another hour drive u have the great city of New Orleans, one can make a fun weekend visiting down here, and there is no snowfall
