Hi all -
Great photo Dave.
Rich, that brings back memories... I was with a unit that did annual inspections on the USS Alabama. As such we got to go all over the ship, to places not allowed for the general public. Interesting to go way below decks and into compartments that remained locked for the rest of the year. We were checking for leaks, rust, etc to make sure things were still "ship shape". The Navy still has the responsibility of inspecting all the museum ships, once a year. I lead an inspection team for maybe 2 or 3 years, and it was quite an experience. I've got a photo somewhere that someone took of me on the deck of the Alabama.
