I’m eventually going to go aboard this ship. I think it opens 7/7.

Oh boy, I will make a special trip just to see that! Used to live in that area. I toured the USS New Jersey in Long Beach in Feb. 1983. Saw the Missouri at Pearl Harbor a few years ago.

I remember visiting the USS Texas within a month of it opening up at the San Jacinto Battleground State Park.

They hadn't yet put a formal program together, so they just gave out self-guided maps and let you go below on your own. The upper decks were still closed.

I used to live on Pt. Fermin in San Pedro in the 80’s. Seeing the Military ships coming and going from Long Beach Naval Shipyards was always a pleasure. I did field service and got to go on board Naval ships in port a few times to fix equipment. Most of the ships that came into LBNS at the time were there for major rework. Many were being converted to nuclear and all were getting the newest defensive and offensive systems courtesy of President Reagan. Always a thrill to go there.

The IOWA is off the coast of Kalifornia. Can’t they go ahead and bombard it? I suggest they move up the coast to SF first....
