Is IKE open to the public for tours?
Unfortunately, due to heightened security concerns at military installations around the world, we can not open the ship to the public. For official group tours, please contact Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, Public Affairs at (757) 444-3373. Purchasing of ships’ ballcaps and other memorabilia (mugs, coins, lighters, etc.) The availability of items depends upon the availability of stock on hand. If a ship is no longer in commission, the chances of getting memorabilia decrease as the time since the decommissioning increases. More information on the Navy Exchange Command is available at their website. If you are not authorized to shop at military exchanges, the military is prohibited by law to sell to you. You should search the Web for sites selling military memorabilia or check your local telephone book.
