Fuzzy and the Battleship Wisconsin

Fuzzy got to go to see a ship with Papa and Nana. He went on a ship called the USS Wisconsin. The Wisconsin is a battleship and was retired from service several ago. Did you know that all battleships are named after states? Some other battleships are Arizona, Iowa, Missouri, and even Minnesota! Fuzzy was very interested in everything on the ship.

Did you know that Papa was in the Navy when he was younger? He was in the Navy for 6 years and was on a ship called the USS Bainbridge. It was a light cruiser, not a battleship, and that’s why it wasn’t named after a state. The USS Bainbridge was a ship that cruised with an aircraft carrier and helped to protect it.



There was a big anchor sitting on land Fuzzy got to sit on. Papa told him it was about the size of 1 of the 2 anchors on the Wisconsin. WOW!











Then he got to sit on the chain for one of the anchors. Look how big it is.













Fuzzy got to sit on Papa’s shoulder to look at the big guns.

















Fuzzy was glad he got to go. He learned so many things
