I think you have a great list thus far.

I’m certain you’ll get more in due time.

Funny Sea Story about the USS ‘Nama
My first ship was the USS Wisconsin in 1988 and I joined her at Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula.
It had the original ballistic computer for the 16” guns and I was Primary on it. We needed a few parts for the reactivation and there were none available anywhere in the world. The’bama had what we needed. Off we go to get them.
There were tours taking place and we ( one Officer, 2 Enlisted ) walked around them, ducked under the velvet ropes and began pulling panels. The Officer and the Tour guide explained what we were doing.
It was kind of surreal, pulling parts from a museum for a ship being reactivated.
