Scuttlebutt: Official Podcast of the National Museum of the Surface Navy
SCUTTLEBUTT is the official podcast of the National Museum of the Surface Navy at the Battleship IOWA, in affiliation with the Surface Navy Association's Battleship IOWA Chapter.
We're here to take inspirational dives into the daily challenges, sparks of passion, and unwavering dedication of our crew and supporters. We also interview thought leaders in both the public and private sectors to hear their thought-provoking stories and opinions on current and relevant topics.
Connect, have fun with, and get to know the cast of characters who give the museum its personality.

VJ Alcomindras: From Tour Guide in Oahu to Guest Services Manager in LA
VJ Alcomindras is a battleship kid. He's been working on Iowa Class BBs since he was 16.
He started as the youngest tour guide ever hired (at that point) by our sister ship, USS Missouri, joined Battleship IOWA in 2015, and was recently promoted to Guest Services Manager.
In this podcast we get to know him - from growing up on Oahu to college in California - and learn how he's turned a part-time job that appealed to the WWII history-lover in him into a permanent career he loves.
We also get a preview of our new ESCAPE THE MOTHBALL FLEET tour, which, if we do say so ourselves, is pretty much a blast and you should come check it out.
