STUPID NON WORKING NAVSCOURE LINKS!

The pics are what I posted in her Ping of the U.S.S. Iowa herself.

Here is a pic of me when I was 12 in June of 2001 in Benicia , California from the Harbor Masters Boat (who served on the Missouri in the Korean War he said)

And here is a pic of Me 12 Years Later and 2,393 miles further west on The Iowa's Sister Missouri.

I always Loved Battleships :)

You love battleships. I know why.

Lots of room for ‘large’ encounters!!!

What is the procedure for removing those plugs from the barrels? Do they use air pressure?

Is there a line that goes down to the breech to hold them in place?

The tall building just to the right of your left ear is Smallwood B.O.Q. named for my uncle James Smallwood.

I hear those big barrels had to be changed after 300 shots.

You should visit the last remaining dreadnought - USS Texas (BB-35).
