LOL...Awesome story ! Thanks for sharing it again.....
Thanks. I was in Long Beach Naval Shipyard when they brought the Jersey in for refit. She was right across the pier from us. I got to watch Reagan re-commission her.
When checking out the guns, they would do "T-checks". That is, swing the guns to 90 degrees. Which meant, of course, that they were pointing right at our little bitty Destroyer. Looking right down the throat of those massive guns was an awesome sight. It made you feel really small.
