Norfolk, VA (USA)
More early morning PT... We went to see an interesting demonstration of ship handling today - conducted with models that are big enough to carry a man. I guess the best way to describe it is to say that it was like a canoe sized boat was constructed with the scale dimensions of a real ship. Somehow, the bouyant characteristics and propulsive response is similar to what a real ship would be like... It was interesting. We had lunch and an "out-brief" before we were sent down to an area near the beach to visit the Marines. We belong to them now...
