The museum on the Hudson River underwent a 22-month, $120 million overhaul at a New Jersey drydock. It returned home last month.
After WWII, the ship saw service in the Korean and Vietnam wars and was twice a recovery ship for NASA astronauts. Since 1982, it has become one of the city's most popular tourist sites, drawing 750,000 visitors yearly over the past decade.
