I was onboard today to do a little work and also to attend the ships big annual fundraiser, the Battleship Blast. We had a pretty good turnout and hopefully raised a lot of money too. Below is a selection of photos taken throughout the day. |

the end of the fireworks show, the ship fired both of her
ceremonial cannons. In the photo above one of the ships crew stands by getting ready to fire the Port Gun. It was a great way to end the evening!! |
