Thank you kind sirs Well the list would be the place to start to see what is in reach of you. The suggestion from Dictonary of checking the History forum here, should help narrow the search for you some. Good luck. I've seen the USS North Carolina and it was a visit well worth my time.

This is a rare trait on any forum so I thought I'd call you out as a reasonably cool person. Second: if you do get a chance to go further west in Europe, HMS Belfast in London is a good visit.
