USS Alabama
Mobile, Alabama | 164 Miles
The “Mighty A,” as the USS Alabama is known, performed valiantly in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during World War II. Commissioned in August 1942, the 45,000-ton battleship earned nine battle stars for meritorious service in the war. Now preserved for the enjoyment and appreciation of generations to come, the USS Alabama is the centerpiece of Mobile’s Battleship Memorial Park. Our suggested route starts at Battleship Memorial Park and follows the path of Alabama’s Coastal Connection National Scenic Byway. You’ll pass historic military forts and Gulf Coast beaches and fishing ports, and take a ferry across Mobile Bay. (See MOBILEBAYFERRY.COM for schedule and cost.)
