A Forrest Sherman-class destroyer commissioned in 1959 and decommissioned in 1982, the Turner Joy is now a museum ship tied up at the Bremerton boardwalk, immediately next to the Washington State Ferry terminal. Self-guided tours take you through the bridge, engine room, gun mounts, mess and crew quarters; signs are good, ladders are steep, and the whole tour takes about an hour.
It is a working destroyer rather than a polished museum, which is the point — the paint is chipped, the spaces are cramped, and the original 1960s gear is still bolted in place. The waterfront alongside the ship is the nicest stretch of downtown Bremerton, with the fountain park, the marina and the Harborside Fountain Park art installation all within a few minutes' walk.
