i'm with Claire on this one. The catch here, is that your son might like to see the ships, and there's a way to do that.
Seaport village is a nice little mall, across the street from Kansas city bbq where they filmed the bar scene in top gun, and a mere short walk away from some of the navy ships.
You dont have to go all the way to the ship yard and its a nice little excursion.
