Well those that also fly will know I (BobP) was just in Va Beach for an air show. Since I was in the area we stopped to see the USS Wisconsion and they have a very nice museum. I have added an album with photos I took while there. Didn't put any of the BB but pics in the museum. I hope you enjoy them.

I was onboard Wisconsin in '88 during her recommisioning ceremony. What a wonderful ship and crew. I joined the Navy under a program called sailors from Wisconsin to man the Wisconsin. While waiting to go active duty they decided to decom her again and I had to pick somthing new.....and then the next 21 years in submarines.

Interesting photos Bob.

Thank you for sharing.

It's a good picture quality and the ship types of the late 1870s -1899 are amazing.

Had to buy stamps today and saw these. Thought I would share them here if no one has seen them before.

Steve I didn't realize that the bow was like a ski jump. First BB I have been on.
