"ALL HANDS ON DECK"

"ALL HANDS ON DECK" 

Hello Everyone: 

Have you ever heard the phrase "All Hands On Deck"? Well; that is a phrase that is used in the U. S. Navy, when everyone's help is needed to perform a specific job or function. All Hands gather to make the job a lot easier. 

Yesterday; my friend Rob and I took a trip and spent the day at Battleship Cove in Fall River, Ma. 

In the above picture, you can see the four main ships that you can visit.

You can also visit the PT BOAT EXHIBITION HALL, the 911 Memorial and they also have a gift shop. 

Battleship Cove is a great place to take your family for a day trip; I must say though, that it needs to be a fairly long day to get to see everything. You also need to be able to walk, climb, get into some confined areas, but it's well worth the trip. You can even arrange for a sleep over for a group you may be affiliated with. 

Let me at this time, share with you the pictures that we took on our trip yesterday.

HELICOPTER AND LANDING CRAFT:

USS LIONFISH (SS-298)

LAST; BUT NOT LEAST: USS MASSACHUSETTS BB-59

Visiting Battleship Cove is well worth the trip; there is so much more to see than just the few pictures that I have inserted. Unfortunately, for Rob and I, the Russian ship and the Sub were closed on the day we went as work was being done on them. 

Ship Ahoy Mates and have a great visit.
