I really enjoy the battleship, its been several years since I was there but always have a great time climbing through it. This time of year the mosquitos aren't as bad as in the summer (maybe?).
I think it looks great in its camo paint.

If you're ever in this neck of the woods, the USS New Jersey is berthed in Camden, NJ and the USS Massachusetts is in Battleship Cove, Mass. Both just as awe inspiring.
On a sad note, the USS Forrestal... the first Navy carrier built from scratch with an angled deck, was sold for scrap for a penny last week. She sat for several years up in Newport, RI while the Navy tried to find some group to make her into a museum, but to no avail. We operated with her in the Med several times. What a beautiful ship she was.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
