Personal Note: USS Iowa BB-61



Yesterday USS Iowa (BB-61), the first ship I ever went to sea on (summer training cruise of 1955), left San Francisco Bay on her way to her new home in Southern California. She is to be transformed into an interactive naval museum at San Pedro, Port of Los Angeles.

This weekend also was the 75th anniversary of completion of the Golden Gate bridge. The bridge and I are the same age.
