I knew a guy who was on the Edson. He said that once a year they'd show the Twilight Zone episode that had the Edson in it.

(And yes, I know, you really don't care
I can't get excited about traveling a distance and then getting a token tour that includes the main deck and maybe the mess decks. You got to go into an engine room on the BB, right? But, fireroom??

Instead of Dread and the Jersey, I'd think more about Pearl with the Arizona Memorial and the Misery. There's a lot more interesting stuff in Hawaii IMHO.
