The old WWII BB’s have a gyroscope to help adjust the analog aiming computers. You can tour the fire control room of the BB Alabama. It’s a great piece of machinery.

Since getting out, have you been on a cruise ship?

It took me over 20 years to go from submarine to going on a pleasure cruise. I was happy when I emotionally realized I did not have any oil to clean up or logs to take.
