Teave
Kiired faktid: Over 200,000 sailors served aboard this floating city over its 47-year career, and visitors can explore more than 60 exhibits spread across 10 acres of flight deck. The onboard galley could whip up 15,000 meals daily, and the ship carries enough jet fuel to fill 30 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Esiletõstmised: Most visitors walk right past the unassuming gray door near the hangar bay. Behind it sits the ship's bakery, where bakers woke at 2 AM to bake 7,000 fresh loaves of bread daily, and the smell of warm yeast rolls would drift through three decks of passageways.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Download the free audio tour narrated by former crew members before you arrive, it adds incredible depth to every exhibit.
- Head straight to the flight deck first thing in the morning, the fighter jets are practically photo-ready with no crowds in the background.
- Skip the 3D flight simulator ($8 extra) if the line is long and save that time for climbing into the actual aircraft cockpits instead.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a light jacket, the wind whips hard across the flight deck even on sunny days.
