February 12th Photos Page |
|
Today was somewhat of a milestone for me, it was my 100th volunteer work day onboard the ship, and this is the 75th set of photos I've posted here online! It's hard to believe I've made the drive from Virginia 100 times, I've got to move closer to the ship! On the Brass Team's "To Do List" today was a return visit to the Anchor Windlass Area to put the shine back in there again. It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since we finished cleaning up down there, time flies when you're having fun! Not much else exciting to report about today's visit, just another day of polishing brass on Big J! Below are a few photos taken today. |

| Another
shot inside Main Damage Control. Hey where did that OD Green helmet liner come from?? It made this ole Army guy feel right at home!! |
 |
| Control
wheels inside the Anchor Windlass Area, which received a little special attention today from the Brass Team. |

| One of two large braking units that control movement of the anchor chains. |
 |
| AFFF2,
located on Broadway near Engine Room #1. I think this area was used to regulate the flow of fire fighting chemicals to the various Engine and Fire rooms along Broadway. |
 |
| Watertight
Door (WTD) on Deck 2 leading forward to some of the crews berthing spaces. Nothing special about it, just caught my eye. |

| A
firing mechanism for one of the 16-inch guns in Turret #3. It was recently cleaned up by a member of the Brass Team and is now on display in a vise inside Turret #3. |
