OOOOh, you say it goes how fast?
Spent the day down in absolutely GORGEOUS Newport, RI visiting NUWC and getting to meet my new toys. I'm sure I won't find it so wonderful come mid-February when it's 10 degrees and the wind&waves are throwing spray up on us but right now? Sunny, warm and OCEAN!
I am SO twitterpaited with this project. Toys! Water! Naval funding and a sane schedule! Simulators AND actual hardware! What else could a girl ask for?
I know the honeymoon period will wear off eventually but I'm pretty revved up right now. It's been a long time since I was actually looking forward to getting into the lab in the morning.
On the way in to where the toys are kept, I passed a dock with a pair of massive navy ships parked on either side of it. The dock itself was probably six cars wide. There was a chain bigger around than I am draped about five stories up, tethering the ships together. I know we're always saying size doesn't matter but, ya know what? You can't really beat it for a first impression.
