On our way home from New Orleans where we purchased parts for a motorcycle Studly Doright is building (see Tuesday’s post) we stopped to tour the USS ALABAMA, a decommissioned battleship that saw duty from August of 1942 until 1947. Since January of 1965, the ship has been the centerpiece at the USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park east of Mobile.
I highly recommend a visit to the park where, in addition to touring the battleship one can also tour the submarine USS DRUM, and an aircraft exhibit.
Below are just a few of the photos we took during our tour:












The ALABAMA earned nine battle stars, and shot down 22 enemy planes during World War II. She’s a beautifully fearsome ship.
More than ever, peace, people!
That medical isolation room does look creepy.

Will the feet cut off the first pic appear in a post of their own?

But, yes, the feet got their own post in snapshot #62.

Ha! I have no feet. I merely float along using a new form of jet propulsion.

I certainly took a step backwards when I saw him.
