We did our tour of the Wisconsin battleship on Tuesday....man what a ship 800 + feet in length, 9, 16 inch guns and several smaller 5 inch guns. There was a shell on display of a 16".....it's a lotta steel comin' at ya . It served in 3 wars, WWII, Korea, and the first Gulf war. She was decommissioned after each event and recommissioned and retrofitted again when required. She is now in permanent moorage. Because of the time spent on this tour, we were too late to do the tour of the Naval Yards as there is only one per day this time of year. Today ( Wed) had us enter "The South". We know this because of the Spanish Moss and the harvesting of cotton. It's also warmer ( 63F at 6:30 PM ) We will be here near Jacksonville
NC for two nights, then on to Myrtle Beach for 2-3 nights.http://picasaweb.google.com/192950A
