I'll have to look into this myself. Use to be what was called "The Hidden Battleship" tour twice a year. Groups of 6 to eight people to one of the ships historical staff or, in my very lucky case, the curator of the ship It was fantastic to get to visit parts of the ship that were off limits to the regular ticket holders. To hear the stories from the Captain's journal about beer in jail cells, to seeing the damage the torpedo did and how close this came to ending USS North Carolina's time. To the repairs, refit and return to the war, it's an amazing, humbling experience. It was an all day affair. Yet you only get to see the shop at a sped up pace. It would take a moderately interested amateur historian, at least two days just to take in all the sites aboard BB55. This is truly one of the few remaining living memorial's to our veterans. My hat is in my hand, and I bow at the efforts to help save this ship from loss. Both in 1942, and present day, 2022 and beyond.
No guided tours at the moment, but definitely allow a half day to tour if you want to listen to the audio and/or read all the informational exhibits (which are amazing).
Went last week, guided tours are no longer available. Don't think you need one, unless you can't read. I believe they had an audio one, but didn't look into it
When I went two weeks ago they were only offering of the self guided tour and some portions of the battleship were closed off.
I honestly do not know. They were not being offered when we were there but they have an app you can get that will basically do the same thing from what I understand.
