Battleship IOWA served our country proudly in WWII, Korea, and the Cold War. Today, this historic U.S. Navy ship is an iconic Los Angeles landmark, considered one of the region's best outdoor museums for families and visitors of all ages.

Come aboard to follow in the footsteps of generations of IOWA sailors, track the movements of our mischievous mascot Vicky the Dog, and learn why the ship is known as "Battleship of Presidents," "The Grey Ghost," and "The Big Stick." Add one of our behind-the-scenes guided tours to explore areas long off-limits to the public and hear first-hand accounts of service, commitment, and bravery.

Enjoy the museum with both in-person and virtual tour options. The in-person offerings comply with current health department guidelines for Covid-19.

A day on this marvel of engineering will create memories that you and your family will treasure for years to come.

10:30 am - 12:30 pm: Military Has Talent – Qualifying Round

A sailor who’s a swing dancer. A soldier doing stand-up. A mandolin-playing Marine. A Coastie crooning smoky blues. A ventriloquist veteran.

What do they have in common? We’re putting them on the LA Fleet Week main EXPO stage to strut their stuff in front of our celebrity judges and an audience of thousands.

Join us at the LA Fleet Week main stage from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM to cheer on some new talent!

12:00 pm - 2:30 pm: Galley Wars at the Main Expo Presented by FOX Entertainment

Get ready for Galley Wars presented by FOX Entertainment!

This annual cooking competition pits teams from visiting ships and units against one another for the coveted LA Fleet Week Galley Wars championship. This year’s contest will feature competing service branches: Navy vs. Marines vs. Coast Guard vs. Army.

The teams utilize ingredients that can be found on their ships or in what they’d have in the field and supplement them with a small budget of items locally sourced.

Each team is judged by a panel of celebrity and executive level chefs who choose the champion.

7:00 pm - 10:00 pm: Concert for the Troops at Cabrillo Beach Yacht Club
