We had toured the USS Alabama in Mobile AL. IDK if they allow it anymore, but at one time you could get inside the turret.
IIRC, (and correct me if I'm wrong) the turrets and guns were of the same size/caliber as the Iowa Class.
Not a lot of room to wiggle into it from the deck, but it was worth it. All kinds of cables, hydraulics, etc.
The USS Alabama kitchen area was used in the movie Under Siege w/ Steven Seagal & Tommy Lee Jones
