CAMDEN , NJ (CBS) – Still debating where to stay during the upcoming papal visit?

The Battleship New Jersey, in Camden, is offering a place for guests to reside during the World Meeting of Families and papal visit at the end of September.

According to the Battleship's website, "The encampment includes a tour of the Battleship, a ride in the flight simulator and the chance to sleep in the bunks that the sailors of the USS New Jersey once did."
