Hey can anyone confirm if the ship is really open for tours ? I drove past late this arvo and it didn't look like it. Some nice hardware on the deck!

I doubt they'll be opening the ship, I could be wrong but having a Navy background, I know the US don't open their ships for the public at any ports.

It's snarky lil remarks like this that cause all the arguements on the board?

I understand that and have no problems with people correcting me [we are only human's]

But its common practise here from what I can see, people having bitch's and going over purpose to correct people.

Meh
