when I was in Hawaii, I paid for the full guided tour of the Missouri.. and since it was just myself and the tour guide, he took me to many places that are "verbooten" to the average tourist.. main spaces, gun plots (both 5" and 16") of course down broadway (that armor going into the citadel is THICK) and other places of course.. being a Tomahawk tech in the US Navy, it was interesting going into CIC and looking at the "green screen" TLAM consoles (we have ATWCS currently on my ship, and are going to be upgraded to TTWCS in the yards in April)

Yep been in plenty of spaces aboard an Iowa that are off limits to tourists. Some spaces havent seen a human being in quite some years now.
