|
The Stern of the ship, with a landing place for helicopters. The ship was permanently at dock and set up as
a military museum and exhibit.
|
|
The rear facing guns of the ship (actually cannons) were elevated as if ready to fire. Forward at midship, missile tubes and an anti-aircraft gun were exhibited at the ready.
|
|
A naval helicopter was parked midship. Two men stood and admired it.
|
|
Tourists on the deck. One man photographed the ship. A woman was busy with her phone. And a family seemed more interested in waving to the people on the cruise ship going past.
|
|
The middle of the ship, at dock, with San Pedro spread out behind it.
|
|
The ship's radar and other electronics rose high above the deck.
|
|
Symbols and letters painted on the ship, indicated the ships history and the battles in which it fought.
|
|
Two sets of forward guns, the barrels of which had been welded closed.
