    Went to my Aunt and Uncles in Wilmington this weekend. My boy had never been on the NC battleship, so that was one thing we wanted to do. I had been on the boat a few times as a kid, but as an adult I'm still amazed at what the greatest generation accomplished. How something like this could be built in such a short period of time, with the technology of the day. We did spend the first 15 minutes looking at balls of baitfish over the side :tooth:

    Here is my boy standing in the magazine for one of the 16" gun turrets.

    Just to give an idea of the size of the turrets, you can see my boy standing beside this one
