Suggestion
If
you're planning to visit the USS New Jersey you won't want to miss the
other two Naval Warship Museums located directly across the river from the
Battleship at Penn's Landing. Anchored there are USS Olympia (C-6, a
Cruiser
which served as Commodore George Dewey's flagship during the Battle of
Manila Bay on May 1, 1898) and USS Becuna (SS-319, a Balao Class
Submarine, veteran of five wartime patrols while serving with the U.S.
Seventh Fleet in the Pacific during World War II). Both ships are
open to the public for tours. For more information on visiting these
ships while you're in the area call the Independence
Seaport Museum at (215) 925-5439.
