Now you can see the moored ships at the inactive ship facility in Suisun Bay, California("the Mothball Fleet") by taking a boat tour out to and around the ships.  We will be answering questions about the battleship Iowa and her future here in the Bay Area. This is a real chance to possibly hear first hand stories from former crew members of these ships. These hour and 45 minute tours take you to within 500 feet of the ships. During these cruises, you get a great view of the ships and live narration about the fleet and the ships' history. As you linger off the starboard side of the fleet, the photographic opportunities are outstanding. This is definitely one of the best ways to see, hear and learn about  the mothball fleet.
