The Pacific Aviation Museum is a pretty cool place. Since its inception they have aggressively gone after assets that make each visit more interesting. A couple years ago they purchased the iconic water tower right next to the museum and have been working to allow people to go up in it. The concrete and many windows still have the scars and holes from the attack. And the collection of aircraft is spilling into a 3rd hangar.

They've done good.

  Yes, it looks like it would be an interesting visit. When I went to Ford Island 1982-1996 on Trident SSBNs for our Tactical Readiness Evaluation (TRE) and MK48 certs we would always tie up at the North end, just east of the old Utah hulk, and then had to walk all the way around the end of the island, past deserted barracks and get to the club they had and the ferry from battleship row. I guess they have a bridge now?
