The iconic USS Alabama (BB-60) remains in the calm waters of Mobile bay watching over the city of Mobile. For as long as I can remember, she stood guard here and is a testament to the strength, courage and might of the US Navy. She is little rusty and is undergoing some repairs and cosmetic work but she is still strong and worthy of a visit and support of the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park.
