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.

Having been to Battleship Cove more than once I can say that it is a little more than a token tour. Other than the usual, bridge, turret, officer country tour, other sites include an engine room, an electical switchgear room, CIC, powder handling rooms, two or three levels of shell handling in #2 turret, 5" magazines, 40MM magazines, and a couple other things I might have forgotten.
