"We are excited to participate in World of Warships Longest Night of Museums. This is a great way to showcase some of the most prestigious warships around the world to a global audience," said Steve Banta, Executive Director of the USS Lexington Museum. "We are proud to share an exclusive look at USS Lexington, which became known as the 'Blue Ghost' during her historic WWII service."

"Naval museums around the world keep a wealth of knowledge and important lessons from history, which were unfortunately largely inaccessible for the past year. We at Wargaming know that each museum has a unique story to tell and we want to shed some light and bring them to our wide audience of history enthusiasts," said Marko Valentic, Global Product PR Manager from Wargaming. "We're thrilled that so many museums decided to join and celebrate International Museum Day with World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends."
