automatic 5" Deck Mount, vertical launch missile tube doors are visible on the deck behind the gun mount. |

were numerous emplacements like this on the main deck and several more were visible on the upper decks too. |

Note the prominent Aegis Radar Panel visible in this photo, one of 4 on the ship. |

 |
| One more shot from dead astern as we boarded the ferry to cross the river. |
 |
| Since
the weather has improved we've been working topside again trying to clean up the many brass fixtures and plates found on the weather decks. We are stripping them down and reapplying lacquer to them. |
 |
| Some
more fixtures we did today, and look at that porthole shining, I lacquered all of them three years ago now, still looking pretty good! |
