With the early morning sun glinting off the
fresh coat
of Battleship Gray, she looks ready for battle.
Almost 2 years to the day since she passed
through the Panama Canal for the
final time, she now sits proudly on the Delaware River ready to greet
visitors.
Home at her final Berth Big J embarks on her
new mission as a museum.
Her Pier is still under construction, but
who came to see the pier anyway?
The truck sitting on the pier is dwarfed by
the Battleship.
View forward from O5 in front of Fire
Control, a stop on the tour.
The Flying Bridge with the skyline of
Philadelphia in the Background,
tours won't get up to this level though.
Another view forward with the Ben Franklin
Bridge ahead.
Hey look, the Ships Wheel has finally been
put in its place!
This manikin of Admiral Halsey on the bridge
looks pretty
spooky when viewed from the main deck, it looks very lifelike!
