You should head down to Charleston to Patriot's Point if you haven't been yet.

I haven't heard of the gun and light shows.

What's at Patriot's Point? I'll have to Google that.

There were little info boards all through the ship and all the ones pertaining to food say that the food was good. They had a menu in there and it sounded like really good food. The "Crew Memories" all say it was great stuff.

You should go visit the USS Drum and USS Alabama down in Mobile,Alabama some time you pay one admission for both.You can pay extra and stay the night in the USS Alabama and get a much longer tour of nearly the entire ship.

There's tons of ships I want to see... So far I've only seen the USS NC and the U-505.

I want to see the USS Razorback in Little Rock really bad.
