Find out what life was like on a WWII aircraft carrier when you step aboard the USS LEXINGTON. Despite repeated attacks during WWII, LEX never sank, prompting Japanese propagandist Tokyo Rose to dub her “The Blue Ghost”.

LEX, illuminated at night with ghostly blue lighting, is a National Historic Landmark docked on Corpus Christi Beach. New for 2008 is awesome firepower and speed. Two 5” gun mounts weighing in excess of 100,000 lbs each and able to launch a 55lb projectile nine miles now sit atop the flight deck. And, don’t miss the exciting new addition of an F/A-18 Hornet, the plane currently being flown by the Blue Angels, in all her glory. A visit to this” city at sea” is like a journey through time. Step onto a real movie set where the movie Pearl Harbor was filmed. See vintage aircraft being restored. Sit in the cockpit of a real jet fighter. See where planes took off and landed in the middle of the ocean. And of course the three-story tall MEGA Theater and Flight Simulator.

The USS LEXINGTON is open year 'round seven days a week for touring and special events. *We are closed on Christmas and Thanksgiving Day.
