If you & the kids enjoyed the IOWA, plan on checking out the USS MIDWAY Museum down in San Diego. It's been opened for quite a while now and is really well organized with lots of exhibits along with a full compliment of aircraft on display. You'll have pretty much full access to all areas of the ship and there are docents (many of whom are vets who served aboard) everywhere to answer questions and talk about how it all worked.
On a recent visit there, I thought I spend an hour or two checking out the MIDWAY before heading off to do other things but was so fascinated by it that I wound up spending almost the entire day aboard. Here's a link.
