PICTURES ADDED TO OUR WEBSITE
I finally had the time to go through a photo CD that Tom Dandes, Volunteer Coordinator, Hampton Roads Naval Museum, had given me.
This CD contains photos of the interior of our ship. I have uploaded 218 of these photos to our Other Photos Page 4
They are numbered; 346-563. Now is your chance to look at them and relive your time aboard her. Enjoy your visit.
Thanks for the memories Tom.
