Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox historic site Шаблон:Main Battleship Memorial Park is a military history park and museum on the western shore of Mobile Bay in Mobile, Alabama. Its notable aircraft and museum ships include the Шаблон:Sclass Шаблон:USS and Шаблон:Sclass Шаблон:USS. Alabama and Drum are National Historic Landmarks; the park as a whole was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on October 28, 1977.[1]
History
In May 1962, Шаблон:USS had been ordered scrapped along with her Шаблон:Sclass sister ships, Шаблон:USS, Шаблон:USS, and Шаблон:USS.[2] Citizens of the state of Alabama had formed the "USS Alabama Battleship Commission" to raise funds for the preservation of Alabama as a memorial to the men and women who served in World War II. Alabama's school children raised about $100,000 in nickels and dimes from lunch money and allowances to help the cause.[2] The ship was awarded to the state on June 16, 1964, and was formally turned over on July 7, 1964 in ceremonies at Seattle, Washington. Alabama was then towed to her permanent berth at Mobile, Alabama, arriving in Mobile Bay on September 14, 1964, and opening as a museum ship on January 9, 1965.[2]
Alabama was joined in 1969 by Шаблон:USS, a World War II Шаблон:Sclass, which was moored behind her until 2001, when the submarine was moved onto land for preservation in a permanent display.[3]
In 2003, a replica of a Confederate submarine that was built in Mobile, CSS Шаблон:Ship, was moved to the park.[4]
Hurricane Katrina caused more than $7 million in damage to Battleship Memorial Park on August 29, 2005.[2] It almost completely destroyed the aircraft pavilion. It shifted Alabama at anchorage and gave her an eight-degree list to port.[5] Repairs closed the park until January 9, 2006.[6]
