A view of the mast (300 feet at the moment....but that can change):
Helipad:
That's right, I'm standing in the Danger
The upper-most boat is named "Henrietta," after William Pinckney's wife: 
My chair (or ... not): 
Another view of the mast, satellites and the MK-16 CIWS (like the ones which used to have a hand-crank, but now mechanized):
.50 Calibur Browning Machine Gun:
The B.A.G. (Big Ass Gun) aka what I think is an MK-45:
Sign inside the bridge. (Let me tell you - I really wanted to tap the barometer after reading it!):
USS Pinckney in the sunset, later that evening:

ReplyDeleteLt. N: I did NOT sit in the Captain's chair - only because there were two 9-year-old boys who were having a blast enjoying the view from that most powerful seat. (I didn't think it would be too terribly ladylike to kick them out - but the thought *might* have crossed my mind...hahaha)
