Pre-Batfish Build Up





The whole reason for the Muskogee trip was the see the USS Batfish but first there were many other things to see and do. First of all there are tons of guns all over the place and they let you sit on them as well as the mast of the U.S.S. Oklahoma. It is the only surviving part of the famous battleship that was sunk at Pearl Harbor in 1941. It turns out they didn't quite steal it from Oahu but they definitly didn't have permission to take it. It turns out a bunch of officers who felt strongly about it just went and requesitioned it. So the folks at the Musuem didn't know how much longer they would get to keep it.
