Fantastic Jeff!!

[zz]

Yes great stuff!
Didn't realise people still got on board these days- it's years since I actually got on board one of these ships !
One of my earliest spotting memories is sitting in the Captain's seat of USS America on a visit.

[Jeff]

It was a great day, pretty much unrestricted access.....and lots and lots of stairs !!!!

[zz]

Looks good! How did you arrange it?

[Jeff]
