I think they may still have a few tickets to go visit the ship while she is in drydock (as in walk under the ship).

The New Jersey is my favorite museum ship by far.

"Face-Lift" is a very poor descriptive of the work being done.

Taking a 45,000-ton ship out of the water is expensive, and is done only when the bottom of it needs serious work.

A better description of the work might be "bottom inspection, rust and leak repairs, and replacing the undercoating".
