USS Alabama Coin


Back in the beginning of September I traveled to Mobile, Alabama for work. It had been about two years since I was there last. We had some time in port and were able to leave and explore from time to time. So one day me and a few mates decided to grab a taxi over to the USS Alabama Memorial.

It was a really great afternoon spent exploring the insides of the ship, viewing many of the military aircraft used over the last 40 years in the huge hanger, and then crawling through the bowels of the USS Drum submarine.

I ended up leaving with two things... a bunch of pictures and the neat two sided USS Alabama/USS Drum gold colored coin pictured above. Wonder if anyone has ever dug one up? It's got some good weight to it and is a bit bigger than a US half dollar.
