The battleship Alabama is a 690ft behemoth famous for escaping nine major WWII battles unscathed – the 'Lucky A' never lost any of its sailors while they served aboard ship. It's a worthwhile self-guided tour just to experience its awesome size and might; at the end of the day, this ship is an engineering marvel.
