07/27/11 - I finally pony up the ten bucks to explore the inside of the battleships near Synacor

I see these battleships every day on the way to work, and I still haven't been on them!

It's time to change that

The USS Little Rock!

Pearl Harbor memorial

Memorial to Poland's contributions in WWII

Lots of radar gear

This picture isn't great, but I liked how the 537 was framed by the trees

Korean War memorial

A flower near the memorials

Orange!

Pink!

Looking up at some fighter jet

The gift shop!

Tilt-shift photography?

Nah, just a model

Captain Jetpack?

Airplane?

Weird mannequin

Pulsating light

A WWII era Japanese map. The katakana reads "A-ME-RI-KA"

That guy looks a little chunky to be in the army

I'm not sure how this works..

Various bullets

And old school ship wheel

I want this in my car

Cannon

Model airplane

A model Corsair

"Shrine" makes it sound sort of creepy

Another model

More models!

I like how they apparently had a problem with people climbing on this guy

A huey!

The soldiers used these for scenic tours of the Boston area

That is a big fun

Closeup on some tank treads

On this tank!

Alright, let's get this thing started

I'm supposed to follow the yellow line

There were lots of weird little cramped compartments

Somehow this controls.. something

Dials!

The red tape on some of these items is suspicious

"We need more yellow!"

Big shells

I guess this is how they load the gun

I bet these are really heavy

I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of these guys

I like to imagine this is actually a clock, indicating the year

Looking ahead in the tour

I want them to fire that little plug out

Wow, lots of destroyers lost

A tracking board

DJ mannequin?

I thought this might make a cool wallpaper

Funny slogan

The stairs were so steep they were basically ladders

That's one hell of a computer

And an enormous compass!

This was actually one of the more fancy accomodations

This is less fancy

And even less fancy. But at least it's not in the bowels of the ship like some other ones I saw

The bulkhead doors are cool but I feel like I'd trip on them all the time if I were actually on this ship for a long time

Pipes?

Gotta buy some smokes!

Another vantage point of the fighter jet and other stuff down on the ground

Looking towards the front of the ship

A compass?

It's like that gun from Star Wars!

Big gun

Big missile!

I think this might be an F-14

Dials

Dials AND wheels

More beds

Looking along the barrel of some of the big guns

Looking back at the other ship

Pulley

I think this is some sort of missile loading rail

Looking down the rail

Missile? Torpedo? Something..

Snoopy says go left

Hey, there's that big blue missile!

Moodance Cat isn't as cool as Nyan Cat

More models

The wings fold so they could fit more on the ship

Lots of model airplanes around here

This, of course, is a period HDTV

Looking down the hallways

Spiffy uniforms

Hey, I recognize some of these guns

I used that .45 in Metal Gear Solid!

Rifle

537!

The red phone?

Hey, it's Synacor!

Radar gear

The path got a little tight in some places

Heading over to the submarine

This soda has been here since WWII. No not really.

Lots of rope

At the bow of the ship!

Looking back on the ships

Let's touch all the things!

I think these are torpedo tubes

I totally hit my head AND my shin on this stupid door

More dials!

I have no idea what these are

This seems like a lot of empty space for a sub. Maybe it's the kitchen

That is a big engine

The sub was even more cramped than the ships!

Bullet Bill?

I'd say these are torpedo tubes, but they're in the back! Can you shoot them out the back?

One last shot from the USS Croaker
