Yep. Looks like the Alabama to me. Been there at least a dozen times in 40 some years. Part of the Under Siege movie was filmed on it in 92. At one point it broke loose from its mooring during hurricane Katrina and was listing 8 degrees to port. Concrete gangway collapsed. All 4 sides of the hangar was damaged and every aircraft at the park was damaged. The Drum came out ok. Took months to repair everything.

Remember climbing to the top level above the bridge. Steep narrow stairs and hatches. Went up one side and down the other. Had 14 inches of deck armor and that first drop below decks through a 14 inch thick deck hatch was a doozy.
