Permission to come aboard

USS Ross

We were treated to a personal guided tour of the USS Ross this afternoon. Our friend is returning to civilian life soon, so he and his wife wanted to take us on a final tour of his ship.  Our field trip combined science, current events, and nautical information. Needless to say, we were impressed with the ship and its technology.

USS George H.W. Bush

We did get a glimpse of the George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier.  Huge is an inadequate adjective to describe the size of this thing.  (This is a stock photo as I did not want to upset the Navy by taking unauthorized pictures.)

In the captain's chair on the bridge

We had a wonderful afternoon, and I'm thankful to the Lord and our friends for giving us this opportunity.
