USS Alabama in Fairhope, Baldwin County, United States | Museum

Decommissioned in 1947, the ship was "moth balled" in Bremerton, Washington until 1946 when she was transferred to the State of Alabama. She was towed 5,600 miles to USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, still the longest non-military ton/mile tow in history, and opened on 9 January 1965. She has hosted almost 10 million paid visitors. She serves as a memorial to all Alabama veterans of all branches of the military service.
