With the early morning sun glinting off the
fresh coat
of Battleship Gray, she looks ready for battle.
Almost 2 years to the day since she passed
through
the Panama Canal for the
final time, she now sits
proudly on the Delaware River ready to greet
visitors.
Home at her final Berth Big J embarks
on her
new mission as a museum.
Her Pier is still under construction,
but
who came to see the pier anyway?
The truck sitting on the pier is dwarfed by
the Battleship.
View forward from O5 in front
of Fire
Control, a stop on the tour.
The Flying Bridge with the skyline of
Philadelphia in
the Background,
tours won't get up to this level though.
Another view forward with the
Ben Franklin
Bridge ahead.
Hey look, the Ships Wheel has
finally been
put in its place!
This manikin of Admiral Halsey on the
bridge
looks pretty
spooky when viewed
from the main deck, it looks very lifelike!

Philadelphia
Skyline in background.
