I took dozens of photos when I recently went (got there early on a Monday morning so there was hardly anyone else there at the time), I need to download a few...

I also need to upload some shots of the USS Texas I took a few days later as well, but that's another story.

looks like the uss alabama needs dry dock. is she the sister ship and same class as the uss massachusetts bb-59? I think so but wanted to make sure. Any time you see a battleship, it's in awe

Yes, they are the same class (South-Dakota Class)...sister ships.

I my cross-country trip last month, I saw the Alabama and the Texas each at their own display sites. I know there's an active plan to display the Texas in a dry dock type display on blocks (the darned thing has open holes below the water line and I watched lots of water being pumped out of her). I asked around at the Alabama and was told they'd like to do the same but there are no plans at this time to do so.
At least the USS Drum got pulled onto dry land!

Great pics, I never knew this place and collection even existed and I simply love the B-25!

the B-25 was a former Mirex Sprayer used by Dothan Aviation at the now paved over and gone Wheelless Airport in Dothan, Alabama.
IIRC she was airlifted from the Wheelless Airport via a CH-54 Skycrane and transported to the USS Alabama Battleship Commission for display.

Is that the fake aircraft carrier/theme park in China?

I dunno Steve, but I do like the thought though
