USCGC TANEY (WPG-37) is located in New York I think. TANEY was at Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941. Sister ship USCGC INGHAM is a museum somewhere or other. USCGCs
BIBB and DUANE (also sisters) are vets of the N. Atlantic convoys (as are INGHAM and TANEY) and are popular dive sites West of Key West, FL. All of those ships served well into the 80s. USCGC DUANE carried gold hull numbers because it was the oldest ship in commission other than USS Constitution and USS Arizona (which have special commissions requiring no actual service).

In Japan is the Battleship Mikasa, which was Togo's flagship in the Russo-Japanese War.

In the US, the battleships Texas, Alabama, Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Jersey are all memorials.

Even though it isn't a memorial, the C class Cruiser HMS Caroline is used as an RNVR ship. She is the last surviving ship that participated at the battle of Jutland. Once she is retired from teh RNVR (which she has been active since 1924), she is to be moored next to HMS Warrior.

There's a WWII submarine docked in Cleveland, Ohio. I lived there for over 5 years but damned if I can think of her name right now.

[Tankerace]

The WWII USS Batfish is in Muskogee, Oklahoma, about 30 or so miles from where I go to school. She is pretty much on dry land, she isn't floating. All parts of her are accessible except the conningtower. The museum also has some 20mm Oerlikons, 40mm Bofors, 5in/25s, and Mk 14 Torpedoes as displays.

Don't forget the U-505 in Washington (for you German guys).

Several Fletcher class destroyers hanging around. I don't know of any heavy or light cruisers that survived the war. USS Lexington is in Corpus Christi.

I don't know of any WW2 warships that are derelict and still around, would be cool to see them.

[JJB647]

There's an Essex class CV in San Fran. Bay (Don't remember which, possibly Hornet) & USS Intrepid in NYC.
USS Midway is at San Diego,CA Not WW2 but commissioned in 1945.
Huge mothball fleets at Bermerton,WA and Oakland,CA.

[rtrapasso]

I don't know of any heavy or light cruisers that survived the war.

There was some sort of CA (i think) docked in Philadelphia (at least until about 2 years or so ago). It was visible from I-95.

[afspret]

USS Yorktown, USS Laffey, USS Clamagore, USCGC Ingham and a PBR are located at the Patriots Point Naval Museum, Charleston, SC.

The submarine USS Cobia, launched 1943 by the Electric Boat Co. of Groton Conn. Location Manitowoc, Wisconsin. 80 miles north of Milwaukee.

It also seems the Heavy Cruiser Des Moines (CA-134) has been stricken, and is currently on hold by the US Navy pending donation as a museum ship.

Well, my Dad's ship (USS Brookings, APA-140) apparently was sunk and then salvaged i think not to long ago. I couldn't find out what happened to it after the salvage, though. If it is not razor blades by now, i would guess it would be a derelict.

Its in Chicago, at the Museum of Science and Industry

[bradfordkay]

Justin's list forgot one very important Battleship: the USS North Carolina. The Showboat is a museum in Wilmington, NC.

There is also an american fleet sub from WW2 at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, and another in Portland, OR. This is by no means a complete list, but we're working on it!!!

BTW, there is a group in Portland that is rebuilding a US WW2 PT boat. It isn't ready yet for display, but I can't wait until it is...

taney is in baltimore harbor. the tug hoga, which helped put out fires on arizona and was later an oakland california fireboat, is moving to arkansas. arizona is not in commission but constitution still is. BB texas, a ww1 dreadnought, fought in ww2 and is in galveston, texas. BB north carrolina is in north carloina. CV yorktown is in charleston, CV intrepid is in new york. many of the DDS, like caisson young in boston next to constitution, are post ww2 modernized to some extend, some more than others. same withh the BB iowas, missouri at pearl harbor, wisconsing at hampton roads maritime museum, new jersey i think in philadelphia, and iowa i think still in washington state.

hmcs sackville, a canadian flower class corvette, is in halifax and hmcs haida, a tribal class DD is in toronto

best bet find the september 2002 copy of sea classics magazine, which i have in front of me. it has the 2002 guide to NORTH AMERICA's naval/maritime museums
