In the slot position at the formation`s rear, Suzelle Thomas piloted the F-35 Lightning II, a groundbreaking achievement as the first female to train on the naval F-35. Tampa`s own Saree Moreno, a 2014 Naval Academy graduate, showcased her expertise as a naval flight officer on the Super Hornet. She earned her aviator`s wings in 2018 and marked her second game flyover at the Super Bowl after a college game in Texas. But even without a guide, the exhibits are worth checking out, especially the one on the Perry family - they have on display replicas of the museum's "Black Ship Scrolls," chronicling the visit of Commodore Matthew Perry to Japan in 1853-4.Īs other reviewers have noted, make sure you call ahead and have all your paperwork in order, as you will have to drive onto an active Navy base (out trip was almost ruined when I couldn't find my auto insurance card, but I did dig it out eventually).In a historic moment, seven talented female lieutenants soared the skies during the 2023 Super Bowl LVII opening festivities! 🎉Īrielle Ash, hailing from Abilene, commanded the diamond formation in her F/A-18F Super Hornet. When we visited, we lucked out and joined a guided tour for Naval spouses, led by the museum's education director, which was very informative. While the city's wharfs are today filled with tony shops and restaurants, it used to be a working waterfront that accommodated tens of thousands of sailors, and Newport was much more rough-and-tumble place. Newport was and still is a big Navy town, but it was only after visiting this museum that we understood the major changes that have taken place there since the closure of the main naval base 40 years ago. One of the great things about this museum is that it gives you a new perspective on the history of the city that you might not get at other museums.
