Two views of the main radio room. Unlike many museum ships, there are no glass panels smeared with fingerprints blocking your view of each compartment. Although most of the rooms are blocked off with a chain, you can still stick your head inside and get a good view.









A quick peak inside the captain's cabin.



Inside the Combat Information Center with Jeffrey Dahmer. The radar doesn't actually work, but once again, the quality of the restoration is to a high standard.





By the way, the CIC is roughly the size of two cubicles mashed together, had 10 men inside at General Quarters, and seemed to have the lowest overhead of any room on the ship.



Carl explains how some of the controls in the pilothouse worked.




Closeup of the steering stand, compass, and RPM indicators.



One of the 24-inch searchlights on the signal bridge. Carl pointed out that, as the searchlights were so powerful, the ship was electric powered, and had limited generating capacity, using them would have limit the ship's maximum speed!



Looking aft from the signal bridge. The large object in the middle of the photo is designed to train crews on how to load the 3-inch guns.




...And yet another view of the foremast!
