Museum Ships

[James Wright]

I've been wondering about something, in an episode of TNG, I think it was "Relics" (don't quote me in case I got the episode wrong!") that Picard told Scotty that there was a Constitution class starship in the Starfleet Museum.
Have any of you been to see any of the Museum Ship of our time?
Do you think there are Museum Ships in different locations through out the Federation?
i've been trying to figure out what happened to the Excelsior class starship Intrepid?
As near as I can figure it Intrepid was the second Federation Starship to at least try and aid the Klingons during a Romulan attack in a 2 year span.

yes, I saw the USS Silversides in Muskegon MI,

great old Gato class submarine, of any united states submarine still in existence, the USS Silversides has the most tonnage/ ships sunk.

Hey I've seen that boat! It was by accident tho, my wife and I got lost on the way to her brother's wedding reception . Gorgeous boat tho, love to get a closer look at her...

It's funny 'cause in the first post, two of the "museum ships" I've visited were mentioned. I've been to the USS Intrepid a bunch of times which is docked in Manhattan. I've also visited the USS Constitution which is in Boston. I've visited a couple of others ships, usually just as quick stops on my travels, but those two are, I think, the most famous.

But, yeah, I'm sure in Trek they've got ships that serve as museums. Probably all throughout the galaxy and everything. It would only make sense, no?

They never said officially what happened to it. We can only guess that it was replaced by the newest version (the class ship for the Intrepid class) some time before VOY started.

Me too. I thought it was really cool.

I've seen the Essex-class U.S.S. Yorktown in Charleston.

Been to a bunch of them, actually.

USS Hornet
USCGC Taney
USS Torsk
USS Alabama
USS Drum
USS Albacore

Was aboard the Charles W Morgan in Mystic, Conn. Once.
There's a WWII sub, the USS Ling, in Hackensack, NJ. She's berthed right across the river from where my wife lived before we got married, so I saw the sub every time I visited. I took the tour only once, though.

Ive been to both the Intrepid and Constitution as well. Impressive to see

I've been aboard the Cobia at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum:

The Cobia is Gato-class too, like the Silversides mentioned above.

Oh, and "Old Ironsides" many years ago.

Been to a few:
U.S.S. Missouri
U.S.S. Drum
U.S.S. Alabama
U.S.S. Yorktown

and actually, a few that I don't remember.

I know that we'll probably never know her final fate but what do all of you think happened to the Enterprise-A, was she scrapped or do yo think she was preserved as a museum ship?

[Starbreaker]

I saw one, can't remember the name of it though.

James

I'd like to think that either she was decommissioned to be a museum or went out in a blaze of glory in a story we haven't heard yet. Hmm, fanfic idea...

 

[Star Wolf]

There is the Queen Mary in Long Beach Harbor near the cruise ship terminals. And the S.S Jeremiah O'Brien
http://www.ssjeremiahobrien.org/cruises.html
is a floating Liberty Ship Museum which cruises San Francisco Bay.

I would hope that she was not scrapped. I would think Starfleet turned the BIG A into a training ship? I think I may have seen something like that on Memory Alpha...

I would think Starfleet would not choose to scrap the flagship of all things..

Have any of you been to see any of the Museum Ship of our time?

Several - HMS Belfast, the Whiskey-Class Russian sub at Long Beach, the Queen Mary...

I've been aboard the USS Massachusetts. Those 16 inch guns are IMPRESSIVE! While the Missouri class battleships command a lot of respect, the South Dakota class weren't excatly lightweights either!
