Review:

The USS Lexington is a combination ship-museum that shows off the USS Lexington, CV-16, a World War II-era US aircraft carrier. The museum of the “Blue Ghost”, as the Lexington is fondly referred to, was established in 1992 shortly after the ship’s decommissioning.

One of the museum’s stated goals is to educate the public about the role of naval aircraft in the defense of the country, and its many exhibits have a direct connection to this mission. In addition to touring the eleven decks of the Lexington itself, guests can try out flight simulators and virtual battle stations. An exhibit dedicated to Pearl Harbor adds a dose of history to the museum.
