I got to see a Navy destroyer today!

My dad's friend Ed was made commander of a ship today, so we went to the commissioning in Norfolk, and had a nice tour of the ship. Daddy forgot batteries for the camera, so we don't have any pictures. I was scared of some of the noises the ship made, but enjoyed the food in the officer's eating area, and at the party afterwards. I saw a lot of friendly sailors and Navy officers. My dad's friend will be in and out of port for the next year and a half of his assignment.
