  The USS Turner Joy is more than just a ship, it's a part of the fabric of our history that everyone should know. Permanently moored next to the Bremerton Ferry slip, the ship has something to offer every member of the family. The ship is almost totally open from mast to bilge, and you can either explore on your own or take the highly recommended yours. I have visited the ship many times, and have yet to be disappointed with all you can see and do. To see the ship exactly how it was rigged while in service is a real treat. The volunteers are highly knowledgeable, and fun to chat with. If you have kids or grandkids, and you served in the Navy, this is a great way to show then what shipboard life on a military vessel would have been like. I highly recommend visiting this ship and exploring part of our naval roots!

  This is such an interesting place to explore. There is so much information about the US Navy and the base here in Bremerton. It is a wonderful place to learn about the local history. Also the docents there are always so very nice and eager to answer any questions you may have. It is a definite place to check out if you are visiting Bremerton or even if you have lived there all your life!

  It's a great chance to see the inside and outside of a US military ship. Out name happens to be Turner, so it was even that more fun. It sits in a gorgeous harbor.

  The Turner Joy is open for people to look around and learn about our Navy history. It's educational and if you go in mid-Aug, you may even get to meet some real sailors. Some parts of the ship are still operational. Impressive!

  The USS Turner Joy is a great museum to visit. It is a Self guided tour, but there are plenty of signs and information along the way. Unless you've been on a ship before, you have no idea of what it's like until you see it... Remember that brave men and women spend months at a time in cramped quarters like those aboard this ship!

  We were having a reunion for the crew of the USS ROBISON DDG-12 which was the same class ship a the USS Turner Joy. We held a memorial service on the fantail for all our shipmates who have passed on.We then spent time wandering around the ship remembering our long days at sea on the USS ROBISON and had lunch on the mess decks (brought our own lunch). The staff was very helpful and even opened some areas that are normally closed to the public so we could reminisce in spaces that were like the ones we worked in 30 or 40 years ago.

  We went with our grandson and husband is disabled and they were so kind to let him go on the first deck with no charge. It was great because he got to experience the ship also. Grandson enjoyed going on all the decks and viewing. Soldiers aboard were very kind and considerate! Thanks for your service men!

  This an interesting look backwards at the start of the Vietnam War. A self-guided tour of the USS Turner Joy lets you see what shipboard Navy life was like in the 1960s. The destroyer is located along the Bremerton boardwalk just north of the ferry terminal. Even our toddler grandson enjoyed visiting the ship, climbing the stairs between decks and going into the gun mount. Stairs are the only access between the decks.

  I moved to the area recently and this is the best attraction in downtown Bremerton, in my humble opinion. You can tell the pride the staff take in preserving the history of this warship. The gift shop has an nice mixture of items to purchase and the ship is in great shape. It was nice to see a memorial to the POWs. Great Job, keep up the good work.

  Great opportunity to get a touch of what our military men and women go through. Was just amazed at what is sacrificed for our behalf in such closed quarters. Then to consider bombs going off and enemy fore headed their way. WOW!! We were late getting there but had full access to most everything and was encouraged to take our time.
