They did look warm especially with the helmets.<br /><br />Brenda asked the lady that was giving Brad info on the big gun if she was too warm. She said yes she was thinking of it like a sauna in a diet program. Her job was as rover on the deck to spot any small vessels that might be coming too close and pose a threat.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-42551433228138614052012-08-14T20:17:57.115-07:002012-08-14T20:17:57.115-07:00Reminds me of my own years in the Naval service in...Reminds me of my own years in the Naval service in Virginia many years back. <br /><br />We used to tour open ships on Sunday along with the tourist crowd.
