- KC8ZKF 14y agoI got to "play" paintball in a cruiser of that fleet as part of Ship's Self-Defense Force training as a USN sailor. This was 1988 or 1989. First and last time I ever played paintball. I'll never understand why anybody would enjoy that game. Roaming around, looking at all the old tech was fun, though.
- smackfu 14y agoWhen I was a kid in the early 90s, my dad took us to a Navy retirement in Philly that was on the deck of a mothballed battleship. (Maybe the USS Iowa?) It was really cool, but the ship was also pretty much completely closed off. I think they had a couple of compartments open on the deck level to provide storage for chairs and stuff. So not too much fun for exploration.
