All ships at Patriots Point have been designated National Historic landmarks. The simulated mission is to seek and destroy Scud missile launchers inside Iraq. Patriots Point is also the home of the National Congressional Medal of Honor Museum. This medal is the highest award for valor in action that our nation awards to its servicemen who risk their lives in defense of their country. A tour guide and map are provided for self-guided tours.
Volunteers are also available for informational tours.
A video of the aircraft carrier Yorktown is available for physically disabled visitors. Ample parking, a snack bar and a gift shop are also on site. Contact BRG Smoky Mountains for travel information and brochures.
