Nauticus, The National Maritime Center, is a maritime-themed science center and museum located in Norfolk, Virginia. Opened in June 1994, Nauticus features hands-on exhibits, interactive theaters, aquaria, digital high-definition films, and an extensive variety of educational programs. It is also the home of the USS Wisconsin, which is maintained there as part of the United States Navy's reserve fleet. Nauticus has an IMAX theater and shows nautically-related films on a rotating basis.
The USS Wisconsin is the largest and last battleship ever built by the U.S. Navy. Explore its deck through a self-guided or audiotape tour that will take you back in time to experience this majestic ship that earned five battle stars during World War II.
