Contrary to its name, USS Kidd is actually an old ship used by USA Navy during the WWII. The ship was one of the firsts of that time and was named after Rear Admirall Saac C. Kidd, a martyr of the Pearl Harbour attack. Once the country’s pride, this ship now stands as a historical landmark for the tourists and travelers. As a museum, you will find hundreds of aircraft and ship models along with numerous replicated gun deck of old Ironsides exhibited for the public to see. The display also includes detailed info on the various events and prominent figures who were a part of the incident at that time. Ensure to visit the Louisiana Memorial Plaza which beholds the eternal flame as a memorial to all Louisiana service members lost in combat. A great place to learn about the history of the country and wars that were fought on its soil. A few hours spent here is definitely a worthy investment!
