Has anyone visited the National Civil War Naval Museum? Is this something I should visit if I go to Columbus Ga?

I was there in June. Can't imagine going to Columbus and not going to the Museum. I would also recommend Linwood Cemetery in Columbus.Has anyone visited the National Civil War Naval Museum? Is this something I should visit if I go to Columbus Ga?
It is well worth the stop as is the Infantry and Armor (if it is open) Museums at Fort Benning.
I believe that the MP Museum would be located at Fort-Lost-In-The-Woods, Missouri.That "I" word brings back memories. When I graduated from OCS the Infantry battalion in the Michigan National Guard wanted me as an infantry lieutenant and put in a request that I be assigned as such. Well "Infantry " sounded like it might involve "work" so I was in a panic. My old platoon leader was battalion commander of an MP battalion and he pulling in a favor and I was appointed as a Military Police lieutenant.
I visited it when it was still the Confederate Naval Museum. I've wanted to go back for years, but it's in one of those places that's not really on my way to anywhere else.
But if you're in the area, you need to go there. If for no other reason than it's one of only two places where you can see the hull of an honest-to-gosh Confederate ironclad.
(The Infantry Museum at nearby Fort Benning may also be worth a look.)

I'd love to visit the Infantry Museum at Fort Benning. I'd be willing to give a talk there.
Well that's one way to make yourself unpopular quickly. My father became a "Redcap"corporal at the infamous "glasshouse", Colchester Military Prison in 1946 - straight back from Burma.That "I" word brings back memories.

Didn't know there was such a museum.
