Testosterone: Your Father had it Dakotan!

I went and saw the Iowa when she was laid up in Suisun Bay in 2001. I was 12 years old, it was one of the Greatest Moments I had as a Kid.

When I was in Air Force Tech in Biloxi Mississippi in 2009 it was my dream to go visit the U.S.S. Alabama in Mobile. But because Kessler sucks, I never got the chance.

Tell your Father that is one in a Million.! Battleship Sailors are a speical breed.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, he served on the USS Iowa.

Here he is on the family and crew day before the public opening of the Iowa at the Port of LA.

We got the complete run of the ship to ourselves. Wherever we wanted to go.... once in a lifetime event.
