Where are you and how far do you want to travel?
We're in Chicago. I'll get two weeks straight with him next summer. And I was thinking about MA as a possibility. There's the USS
Taxachusettes and the all-gun Heavy Cruiser USS
Salem there as well.
And the USS
Alabama is BB60, the last one right before the
Iowa's.
Going back to VA to see the USS
Wisconsin is another possibility, maybe with a swing through Camden/Philly to see the
Olympia and the USS
New Jersey. Also maybe get to do some more Civil War Battlefields (Self guided CD tours are the bomb!!!)
We did a WWII Sub (USS
Cobia) up in Wisconsin 2 years ago when he was a Cub Scout. The only thing he liked was playing on the deck gun (shocking).
Carriers don't have lots of guns sticking out on them. To him, Battleships are where it's at (or was). Just thinking and considering right now. One thing I do know. The USS
Missouri is right out. (Anyone want to guess what his absolute favorite BB is? Go ahead, guess, I dare you.)
And yes George, I'm not driving to or through South Cackalacky ever again.
