Perhaps for our next Yard Period ...

While those of us here in the yards get upgraded to the latest of what the Navy has to offer today, this link has something that our future Sailors may be upgraded to in one of their yard periods.  It's wonderful to see research with so many applications being done by our Navy. 

Sounds of the shipyard

Hello, it's been a while.  As BHR continues it's maintenance period in the yard, it occurred to me the other day what a plethora of sounds exists in our current environment.  A trip from the gate to the ship, a distance of about 500 yards, varies from quiet tranquility to the deafening noise of metal grinding or compressed air being released.  Experience it for yourself.

Dry-dock view of the Coronado Bridge

After I finished my 1600-2000 (4-8 pm) Officer of the Deck Watch on the quarterdeck of USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) I stopped on the top of the NASSCO dry-dock and took this shot of the Coronado Bridge.  I converted to black and white afterward.  This is a 20 second exposure with a 400 ISO.

 

Cheers!
