USS Wisconsin

On our way to the Oceana Air Show we decided to visit the USS Wisconsin, an Iowa-class battleship.
Wow.
That was cool. The "Wisky" as she's affectionately called, served with distinction in WWII, as wells as the Korean and Gulf wars.
That is one BIG ship, and her sixteen inch main guns can hurl a shell that weighs as much as a Volkswagen twenty-one miles.



More soon.
Peace,
John
