Default Its not everyday you get to.......

Ride your Police Motor on the deck of a Battle Ship.


But thats what I did today. It was a Clicket or Ticket Campaign Kickoff in Wilmington, NC on the USS North Carolina.






I had to drive through the snack bar to get up on deck.



We took 5 motors and the Captain drove his Suburban, it was a 460 mile round trip.

thats cool, its been a long time since I've been aboard the North Carolina, We've got the Yorktown here at Patriots Point, along with the Clamagore, and Laffey. I'm embarrased to say its been 8 years since I toured them. My wife and kids could care less about the ships. I could spend days going over them.

Hey Spare, thanks for reminding me.
About 15 years ago, when my sons where in Boy Scouts,
the troop made a trip to the Yorktown and we stayed the weekend on the ship.
It was a great trip, while touring teh ships,
I had all the scouts looking for the bowling alley, it made all the uptight parents mad,
but hey all the kids got to see and learn more than they realized.
