Correct! [&o]

Only Rex on museum display. Lone Star Rex and Admiral Nimitz' motor barge can be found proudly displayed at the fantastic Museum of the Pacific War, located in Fredericksburg, TX. Strongly recommended for anyone with an interest in WWII PTO history.

I prefer Admiral Halsey's barge ...

Wasn't expecting that much when I visited although I never need much of an excuse to visit the Hill Country. The museum was way better than I thought.

It's one of the finest WWII museums and surrounding grounds that I've ever seen. I've been there half a dozen times and I always run out of time. [8D]

Been there and really enjoyed the Museum. Also the local Fredrecksburg is a pleasant little town with some good cafes and the Guadalope River not too far away for river tubing or canoeing. Go - Have some Fun, and see the Museum.

Many years ago, I was prowling around the surrounding grounds.

There was a Priest-type (105mm on a Sherman body) and I think a Type 95 (or 97?) Jap Tank which I could crawl over and peer into.

Lots of Japanese uniforms, weapons.
An open/unshielded (I think? 5in?) ship mounted AA gun you can sit in the Aiming Seat.
The Japanese Mini-Sub.

Lots and lots to see, well worth the trip.

I ran out of time when I visited as well.

I hear the museum in New Orleans is pretty good. Haven't been to it myself despite going there multiple times; somehow, I always end up on Bourbon Street. [:D]

[anarchyintheuk]

Alcohol related/fueled events seemed to take up a lot of time when I visited New Orleans as well.

Museum of the Pacific War, located in Fredericksburg, TX. Strongly recommended

Plans are for sometime this fall.

Has anyone been to the Army Field Artillery Museum at Fort Sill? I don't get out much anymore but I'd like to see all the self-propelled artillery they have there and it's not too far away.
