"PLAN YOUR VISIT
"The Battleship NORTH CAROLINA is a self guided tour. Follow the arrows and enjoy climbing ladders to explore up to 9 levels. Make sure to bring your camera but hold onto to it along with your cell phones and sunglasses!
"The Ship is huge and not air conditioned, so be prepared to savor her as the sailors did.
"Visitors spend about 2 hours touring, on average, but many visitors stay longer. It is up to you on how much you would like to discover! The Ship is yours for the day!
