(There will be an official Navy photographer to capture the event.)
**PLEASE DO NOT roam the ship unescorted, this is not allowed**
**This is a working ship and danger lurks around every corner**
Children will be allowed on the ship during the ship visit, but must be with a parent at all times, no running or horseplay will be tolerated. Stairs and ladders can be difficult for small children and some adults as well. Sandals and open-toed shoes do not work well on Navy ships. Wear appropriate shoes for the ship visit.
If you have to carry your child they are too young.
Friday evening is liberty call for all hands, find your shipmates and go tell sea stories until the wee hours of the morning!
Hotel Hospitality Suite will be open in the evening, where you can find more shipmates, view merchandise for sale and see our raffle prizes, and enjoy a refreshing beverage and some snacks compliments of the association.
