Yes, the Lexington's port is in the bay at Pensacola, Florida, where it's been for some time now.  It's used primarily for training Navy pilots from the nearby naval air station, but, when in port, is often (always?) open to the public.
Pensacola NAS also has a fairly impressive and newly remodeled museum displaying a variety of naval aircraft.  If any of you naval groupies are in the southern Alabama/northwestern Florida region, stop by.  The battleship USS Alabama and submarine USS Drum are also on permanent display (along with quite a collection of artillery and aircraft, including a B-52) at  nearby (1 hour on I-10) Mobile Bay.
