The film is a must see, and does a nice review of the naval yard and currently military ship. The naval yard is still run by active naval officers, so you will see them around the yard. The museum … Full review by Patrice A

The ship is in dry dock for restoration. It is really something very unique to see while it sits totally out of the water. We were able to board the ship and to explore the main deck and the one below it. I'm not sure if you can still due that due to the restoration schedule. I know they still have to move the cannons back onto the ship, so this could make it off limits to visitors awhile. Please don't let this discourage you from visiting. The museum is amazing (especially if you have school age children). And, even if you can't board the ship, you'll love seeing her in dry dock.

Q:
About how long does it take to see the museum and tour the ship? Also what time of day is the lest busiest in July?
A:
I would go early in the morning. The museum can be done in 30 minutes or several hours depending on your level of interest. Talk to the crew on the ship. They tell the story best!
