Hero Ships

The Jeremiah O'Brien was in the thick of it all the way. She holds the unique distinction of being not only the last remaining, unaltered Liberty Ship afloat, but also the last remaining fully operational ship to participate in the D-day invasion.

A national cemetery with 900 crew members entombed within; a symbol that epitomizes American naval sacrifice and courage.

One of the most heroic ships of the Second World War, CV-8 has the distinction of serving as the flight deck for the incredible Doolittle Tokyo raid before being sunk by an enemy who tortured and executed the fliers of that raid.

The USS New Jersey, a notable battleship, assisted in both World War II and the Korean War.

The USS Texas is the last battleship afloat patterned after HMS Dreadnought that participated in World War I and World War II. Considered the most powerful warship afloat because of her ten 14''/45 guns in five twin turrets.
