Preferably in the not too scary section of Newport News?
In a little scarier section of NN.
I like to look at these boats. I drove across the James River Bridge yesterday, if you aren't familiar, this bridge is about 5 miles long, with a nice view of the shipyard while headed east.
If you are on the bridge headed east, you will see two huge light blue cranes. What is left of the Enterprise is under the crane on the left (north) in dry dock. You can still see the Big E painted on the tower. But the ship gets a little smaller every time I drive by.
Between Newport News and Portsmouth and Norfolk is some impressive military infrastructure. Most of it is off limits, but you can see aircraft carriers as you drive around the area. The battleship Wisconsin is open for tours.
