Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Mais de 200.000 marinheiros serviram a bordo desta cidade flutuante ao longo de seus 47 anos de carreira, e os visitantes podem explorar mais de 60 exposições espalhadas por 4 hectares de convés de voo. A cozinha de bordo podia preparar 15.000 refeições diárias, e o navio carrega combustível de aviação suficiente para encher 30 piscinas olímpicas.
Destaques: A maioria dos visitantes passa direto pela porta cinza discreta perto do hangar. Atrás dela fica a padaria do navio, onde padeiros acordavam às 2 da manhã para assar 7.000 pães frescos diariamente, e o cheiro de pãezinhos quentes se espalhava por três conveses de corredores.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
