They do.
If anyone here ever has free time while they're in the area, pay her a visit. It's an amazing tour, and equally amazing how ~250 sailors fit into such cramped accommodations.
I haven't been aboard since the mid-1990s when she was berthed at Ontario Place. But my parents took my grandpa there later, before he passed... he had served on this ship for a short while during or after the war.
I've applied to volunteer, and help with upkeep or whatever needs to be done, but no takings yet.
