I'm beat.
We went all the way up to the "O-8" level, which involved going up a lot of narrow, steep ladders.
Got to see the plot room, the CEC (Combat Engagement Center), some rooms with radar gear in them, "CONN2", and the ship's whistle.

I'll post the pix I took today after I get back from a radio event we're doing tomorrow in rememberence of the cease fire that "ended" our involvement in Viet Nam.

ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody.
ReplyDeleteJust got really busy doing Home Owner Stuff, and working on replacing the tantalum capacitors on that damn "A5" circuit board.
Three of them were buried under some wiring, and took about two hours to change, while the rest weren't quite so bad.
The bad news is that swapping them all out didn't fix the problem, so back to square 1, and another email to the very helpful people at PCS Associates.
