A volunteer from Nauticus raises the National Ensign

A volunteer from Nauticus raises the National Ensign aboard the USS Wisconsin (BB 64) before the battleship opens for visitors in the morning. The Wisconsin is an Iowa-Class Battleship that is moored permanently next to the Hampton Roads Naval Museum and Nauticus in Downtown Norfolk, Virginia as a museum ship. The Wisconsin is a popular venue for military ceremonies throughout the year, and is available through the Naval Museum to area commands without cost for this purpose. To inquire about a military ceremony, contact their Special Events Coordinator at [email protected] or at (757) 322-3106. More information about the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, one of ten museums within the Naval History and Heritage Command, can be found by visiting HRNavalMuseum/.
