This is the USS Lexington, an aircraft carrier from WWII that fought with destinction in many of the battles of the Pacific War. She served until the 1970's as a training carrier stationed in the Gulf of Mexico and served Pensacola and Corpus Christi Naval Air Stations. We have gone to many of these exibits around the country and this was one of the very best. They let you go through many areas of the ship that others don't allow you to enter.
