call your nearest base and ask about ship's tours. They usually occur during Fleet Weeks or if you do not live near a major base, sometimes a ship will pull in to port and offer tours.
as for getting underway on one, only if you are invited aboard for a family Day Cruise. Usually that means you have to know someone stationed aboard.

In San Francisco, and probably several other cities, they have a 'Fleet Week' during which active Navy ships dock and are open for tours. There is usually a show by the Blue Angels, and a fireworks display too!

Naval ships in port have open house on Armed Forces weekend, which is the weekend closest to May 18th on the calendar.
As for "taking a ride" some carriers have Tiger cruises. But, they are restricted to the immediate family members of the officers and crew.

When I was in the Navy we used to take people on tours all the time but as one poster said, they were members of a family that had someone stationed on the ship.

If you have a relative in the military he can request to give you a tour. But only when its docked and not moving.
