Tour of the Battleship Wisconsin
We toured the Battleship Wisconsin today. We spent 5hours crawling around the ship and we both were in awe. There’s too much to write about, so today you can just look at the pictures. Here goes: A Navy ship that had one gun manned by a crew of Marines. This was the Marine emblem drawn by one of the Marine gunners when he was 19. When he turned 85, the Navy brought him out so that he could climb up on scaffolding in 100 degrees heat. It took him 4 days to complete the emblem being restored. He was in heaven that the Navy had honored him with the task. This is gunpowder that is compressed into pellets, there are 256 pellets in one bag, it takes 6 bags to fire one gun one time. Highest point on the ship. It’s basically the pilot house. The firing of Tomahawk missiles. They fly 550 mph just above the ground, flying under the radar. Read the plaque, it’s interesting. These are 5” barrel guns, the smallest guns on the ship. Read this one, it’s part of the bigger story really inter
