Today we turned the nuclear launch keys on a battleship. These keys have been sitting in a box, forgotten, for decades. This was a really cool day.

Your daily dose of battleship: we're not watching paint dry but we might be watching epoxy cure.

A few weeks ago I was doing some research and found out that a painting that hung on my ship during the Korean War was at a local historical society. I looked into visiting them and remembered that I was giving a lecture there. (I do these a lot, I can never remember where I'm going next)

It was nice to come full circle and see it in person today.

This section of the has been closed to the public for at least a decade due to the deterioration of the deck. Today, after a year of hard work it's finally open!

In addition to preserving the historic vessel and just looking a lot better, this makes the much more accessible now that there aren't potholes all over.

Is a thing? Can it be?

We recreated the tide charts written on the bridge windows of USS New Jersey, specifically copying one from the ship's trip to Bremerton for her decommissioning in 1969.
