USS Iowa Engine Room

To all you mechanical engineers, this may be the next thing to heaven. The #USSIowa --one of America's 4 battleships--is permanently docked in San Pedro and is now a museum. A few weeks ago we opened private tours of the engineering spaces: Fire solutions computer room, fire room, engine room, medical, flag officer's staterooms, and the Combat Engagement Center.

It's a fascinating look into the lives of the 2800 young men who lived, worked, an fought aboard this historic artifact of naval history. I am pleased to be a very small part of this team. Even better that it does indeed provide some of the background information I use in my books including the latest, #ManofHonor.
