Man I can’t remember your name and so sorry. But you was a vet who showed us the tour with my youngest boy and asked me if I served the way I walked down the steps with my son and wife. And we had one other other. You had a tat on your forearm. Anyways you was awesome and def will get your name right next time I come. You was very informative and kid friendly. My son was 4

We love visiting war museums like the USS Slater that preserve the part of our country's history that guarantees our freedoms today. We were really impressed with how much work has gone into restoring the ship to its original condition in 1945, the dedication of the volunteers and presentation during the guided tour. This was one of the better war museums.

One of the best historically accurate and upkept museum ships in the world. The volunteers are going a great job at restoring the destroyer escort. My interest in naval history got me a private tour to the off-limit compartments, that was very nice of the guide.

We love the USS Slater! Knowledgeable volunteers take you all over the ship and answer any question you have. There's lots of things for kids to touch - most of the guns, for example - and we could climb up in the bunks as well. Great way to experience destroyer life during WWII. There's also a short video they have you watch before. Might be a good idea to call ahead and find out when the next tour starts. The gift shop was a nice cool...

Well restored WWII Destroyer Escort. Informative and useful pre-tour video, knowledgeable and helpful volunteers. Be aware, this is a warship, built in the 1940s intended to be mostly crewed by young men between 18 and 40 years old. It has steep stairways, ladders, hatches, and watertight doors, all of which are authentic, but require some agility and awareness of your surroundings to successfully and safely move about the...
