I visited the FAA Museum yesterday, and spent just over 3 hours enjoying the exhibition. I took some photos that I will post later of the bells that were removed from some very famous carriers. Amongst the historical aircraft are some iconic prototypes, including the Hawker P1127, the aircraft that became famous as the Harrier. Unfortunately, the most famous Naval aircraft of all, the Fairey Swordfish, was almost missed, as the Museum have chosen to display their example above your head. It is almost hidden from view, and would be missed if you didn't look above you. I know they have one that flies, but the static exhibit should be more prominent perhaps?
However, I am puzzled why Concorde 002 is still displayed amongst Naval Aviation exhibits. Is this a silent tribute to a planned supersonic strategic bomber intended to operate from a colossal carrier that was cancelled by the Government of the day along with TSR2?
