Description

This memorial is dedicated to all of the men and women who have served in the US Navy, not only those at sea, but also those who stay on land and build and maintain the all-important ships. The main attraction at the Bremerton Historic Ships Association is the naval ship USS Turner Joy, a destroyer that served in various Naval tours, including the Vietnam War. It has been permanently docked here and now serves as a museum where visitors can walk through and tour all aspects of the ship, from the engine room to the gun towers to the captain's bridge. Everything inside the ship has been preserved to the same state it was in when the ship was in commission from September 1957 to November 1982. This museum is a great place to explore, and is sure to be a hit with visitors of all ages.
