I've had the New Jersey firing their 16's over my head... and like I just told somebody in a PM... it was majestic.
Then on the off-days in the exercise my (comparatively) little CG cutter tied up in Long Beach right in front of NJBB, with our fantail right under that magnificent bow. What a view. :-)
Wow. That must have been an experience. I was able to go on the New Jersey several times when I lived in the Philippines as a dependent...
