I haven't seen any recent news.

Rough duty:

Battleship Memorial Park assistant director Pam Jeffcoat walks past trucks parked on the bow of the USS Battleship Alabama on Wednesday in Mobile, Ala. About 40 employees and their family members are riding out Hurricane Ivan onboard the ship. - link

Thanks! Great photo; good to see the old girl weathering it well.

We visited in 99, but don't get down that way very often.

I remember several large buildings & shore displays; they would have presented the main hazard as parts of them pelted the ships.

Cool way to ride out a hurricane. You can bet they're not going to find a battleship tossed three miles inland.

If they had only left the schools at Millington the goverment would have been saved millions of dollars. Schools would not have been interupted and my children would be coming to Memphis instead of worring about their transfer to NAS Pensacola and if they will have a place to live. As a Navy family we are praying for all of the people that have lost homes, but especially for the ones that are serving our country.
