battleship.
The sheepherder and I went and toured a battleship today and while wandering around on the batleship we found that all the cool places were off limits. Then we stumbled into a ladder that just had a chain across it with a sign that said stay out so we climbed over it and started down a hallway and up a ladder into the upper 16" shell storage room for the aft turrent. We got tired of hitting are heads on things while trying to navigate in the dark with a zippo and went home. Tomorrow we are checking out a old abandoned naval shipyard that is supposed to have a mothballed cruiser in it.

Re: battleship.
That's pretty cool. I've been on one of those before, but I can't remember exactly where it's at. It was in the Gulf of Mexico, between Pensacola, FL and Louisiana.

The objective of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other sorry bastard die for his.

Re: battleship.
Yes they are. I lived in Sf for about a year while working on a few big projects we had there. I did a bunch of volentier work on the ss.jermey o'brian the liberty ship there. While I was there and got to go on a 2 day excursion on her. That big steam engine in her is very cool.mechfreak57 wrote:the WWII liberty ship and sub are pretty cool in fishermans warf in san fransisco
