Thank you for the reports. Should there be another zombie rising in the future, perhaps I can assist. Lately, however, I've been in a grad school/job hunt bubble even zombies can't penetrate.
Suggest you get some fresh water---what you are "sitting on" is a mass of salt water.
Yes, I know salt is what you have your hopes set on for safety.
Of course, some old pirate tales would suggest that the undead can pass through and under the oceans....nothing to stop those risen from the ship's grave from climbing anchors and lines of fools who were stranded by the wind.
But who knows what happens. Dead men tell no tales.
At some point between the San Pablo Bay and the Sacramento river, it transitions from salt water to fresh water. I don't know exactly where that point is, but between the Benicia bridge and the Antioch bridge seems reasonable.
Looks like it's not a far jaunt to Ryer Island - if the vessel can be made functional, that seems to be the point where the water starts to change color according to satellite images, and I vaguely recall someone saying that the color change was partially indicative of lack of salt in the water. They could have been full of ship, though.
In any event, I'd bet that ocean-going military vessels have desalinators for making seawater potable.
Worst comes to worst, you can probably rig up stills of some sort on deck, sun-powered, and made with stuff from inside the ship. Dark plastic, light plastic, a tub, and a bottle?
Glad to know you survived and got to the fleet. :)

It is a battle ship after all. Up for some target practice in the morning?
