Staff Members from the Hampton Roads Naval Museum enjoyed a Command and Control themed tour aboard the USS Wisconsin (BB 64). The tour was coordinated by Darcy Sink, the museum’s Volunteer Coordinator and the tour was conducted by volunteers from Nauticus and the Battleship Wisconsin. The Wisconsin is one of four Iowa-Class Battleships that was commissioned during WWII; she, along with her sister ships are all preserved as museum ships across the country. The Wisconsin is moored permanently next to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum and Nauticus as a museum ship. Access to the ship is by admission via Nauticus; however the Hampton Roads Naval Museum (part of the Naval History and Heritage Command) retains the ability to host military ceremonies aboard the ship for area commands. To inquire about a military ceremony aboard the ship, contact their Special Events Coordinator at [e-mail] or at [phone]. To inquire about volunteering with the museum, contact their Volunteer Coordinator at [e-mail] or at [phone]. (US Navy Photo by Emma Hummer/Released).
