somewhere I would love to visit

2018-09-03 21:55:30 UTC  

especially if the Queen Elizabeth is down there after its sea trials in america

2018-09-03 21:56:09 UTC  

that is great

2018-09-03 21:57:27 UTC  

If I ever go to america I'd make it a priority to see the USS Texas

2018-09-03 21:57:36 UTC  

I love big capital ships like that

2018-09-03 21:57:47 UTC  

there are a lot of good ships

2018-09-03 21:57:58 UTC  

I've been quite happy to live near the coast for that

2018-09-03 21:58:36 UTC  

yeah

2018-09-03 21:58:42 UTC  

are a lot of them floating museums?

2018-09-03 21:59:04 UTC  

yeah

2018-09-03 21:59:08 UTC  

for the most part

2018-09-03 21:59:30 UTC  

there was a Liberty Ship doing a tour up the coast and it stopped nearby

2018-09-03 21:59:33 UTC  

thats pretty cool

2018-09-03 22:00:09 UTC  

yeah. very nice to see. Had the whole engine room open. They were far more loose with how much you could see compared to other ships

2018-09-03 22:00:29 UTC  

I went on the Belfast

2018-09-03 22:00:31 UTC  

I loved that

2018-09-03 22:00:34 UTC  

was pretty much climbing ladders and shit to get around

2018-09-03 22:00:46 UTC  

I love getting hands on with that sort of thing

2018-09-03 22:01:54 UTC  

yeah. It was pretty great. Wasn't all that much to see as it was for cargo, but it had some AA guns and a couple anti-ship batteries.

2018-09-03 22:02:50 UTC  

The Intrepid was probably the best ship I've been on. Nice hybrid of ship and naval history and aviation

2018-09-03 22:04:02 UTC  

I'd love to go on a carrier

2018-09-03 22:04:24 UTC  

I saw our last carrier from dock one but that was in Naval commission still at the time so obviously wasn't allowed on it

2018-09-03 22:04:29 UTC  

I have no idea what phone I had so I can't find my detailed pics

2018-09-03 22:05:05 UTC  

But there was a pic passing by when I was on chauffer duty

2018-09-03 22:07:15 UTC

2018-09-03 22:07:15 UTC  

another thing I'd love to see

2018-09-03 22:07:23 UTC  

one on the Intrepid and another in DC

2018-09-03 22:07:28 UTC  

but its not downtown

2018-09-03 22:07:38 UTC  

I love the cold war era of technology for its madness

2018-09-03 22:07:45 UTC  

its this second museum out by Dulles airport

2018-09-03 22:07:56 UTC  

which, frankly, is better than the one on the mall

2018-09-03 22:08:51 UTC  

I need to plan a trip down to Bovington when I have time

2018-09-03 22:08:58 UTC
