Living History Crew Drill

Event Date: February 03,2024 8:00am-3:00pm

Venue: Battleship Memorial Park

Historical reenactors, dressed in WWII period Navy uniforms, will be aboard the USS ALABAMA and USS DRUM demonstrating what life aboard ship was like during wartime. The big event of the day happens at 1:00 p.m. when “Call to Battle Stations” is sounded. Grab a spot on the fantail of the USS ALABAMA and watch as vintage enemy aircraft fly over and attack the ship. Spectators will be able to take in the whole experience while the crew fires the ship’s 20mm guns. The Deep South Amateur Radio Club will be broadcasting from Radio Central aboard the USS ALABAMA during the drill and welcome visitors to stop by to listen. For all ham radio operators, the call letters are K4DSR and K5LDA broadcasting between 20 and 40.
