There is an underwater viewing area at Coral World in St. Thomas where I shot it through one of its many windows. Seeing the people approach, it reminded me of the old movie "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea." Here's another:

Great story; I was an officer in then USS CHANCELLORSVILLE (CG 62), now USS ROBERT F SMALLS, when we were tied up in Pearl over at Ford Island preparing to do a post overhaul missile firing over off the western side of Kaui. I get up one morning and the Missouri was being towed in and she was pushed into the berth directly ahead of us, and astern of the ARIZONA memorial. That day, a message came out requesting volunteers to come and give the Mo a painting and facelift. I was rolling haze grey paint on the O3 level next to an admiral the next day. There were so many sailors we painted her out in a day and a half. Then we went and fired a half dozen missiles for a clean sweep. This would've been in the summer of '97.

And then this is an exhibit picture I took.

Yes, great story indeed! I'm sure you and the others made the "Mighty Moe" look her best back then.

In just 15 days we’ll be on the Magic. We’ll be leaving San Juan. Once again, we will stop in CC!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Well, we leave tomorrow for Puerto Rico for a few days before we board the Magic in San Juan.

I found this picture of the Wonder in Cabo San Lucas from when we did the WBPC in 2014, May 14.

I thought I recognized your paint strokes.

I call this one, the morning I lost control of my willpower...

Fun!

Besides the issue we had with docking, and having to torturously wait an hour before they tried again (and succeeded), it really was an amazing wedding!
