[aprssig] Blown Away by Battleship NJ!

[Jim Sanford]

Bob:

I have been to two Change of Command ceremonies on board NEW JERSEY.  
Sitting on the foc's'l  looking down at the podium with those two triple 
turret 16-inch guns towering overhead is awe-inspiring and 
bone-chilling.  If you've never been there, by all means, GO.

73,

Jim
