Sorry for the quality of some of these. I took them with my iPod camera.

The Kingfisher





40mm Bofors. This one was movable. I "attacked" the planes going in and out of the airport nearby.







Resting in the crew quarters



Plotting Room



Part of the Radio Room (Sailor Steve, that one's for you.)



Inside the 16 inch gun's loading mechanism





View Aft from the Bow



Manning the 5 Inch gun





Kills



In the Engine Room



I climbed into a 16 inch gun turret and sighted a ship in the harbor. This is through the periscope.



Soooo I proceeded to plot an attack on the plotting board inside the turret.



Here's part of the loading system inside the turret itself.



Cardboard Cutout people loading the powder charges



CIC



There's a bunch more pictures. I should've taken more....and these are some of the highlights.

Sadly, they won't let you in CIC and there are places that are closed off...but that was well worth the 12$ admission.
