A few weeks ago I managed to work in a short trip up to Norfolk. My primary goal was to tour the USS Wisconsin as well as see the Navy Base. I accomplished this!
First was a trip to the Nauticus Museum. Its a great little museum about US Navy history and you can pet a small shark and horseshoe crab.
The main even was of course walking the Wisconsin. I was amazed by how different she was the North Carolina. I know they are different classes but they are still battleships and should feel similar. They really didn't. Layout, lines, equipment and environment. All were different. One of the main differences is that the Wisconsin was modernized while the North Carolina was decommissioned in 1947. So the Wisconsin is missing all the machine guns and AA but did have the mounts for Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles. For all that she is a gorgeous ship. They really don't make them like that anymore. The sleek flowing lines of her superstructure and hull.
That being said, I was a little disappointed with the tour. There were huge chunks of the ship you couldn't get too. You could only get into the wardroom and some berths and compartments around it. The North Carolina basically let you roam the whole ship. Bridges, engine room, magazines, under the turrets etc. Still, overall, a worthwhile trip and makes 2 of 7 Battleships that I have now seen.
After the tour of the Wisconsin I took a harbor tour which took you right past the navy ship yard. I got to see a whole stack of modern ships.

While fake Audemars Piguet the Tangente, Orion, and Ludwig all begin with a stainless steel case, the similarities end there. For fake IWC the Orion Olive Gold, long tapering wedge lugs offer a more traditional dress watch profile, while the 41 mm case diameter and wraparound lug curve ensure a fake Franck Muller look that is equal parts boldly contemporary and effortlessly comfortable on a wide range of wrist fake Vacheron Constantin sizes.
ReplyDeleteThe Tangente Midnight Blue, however, begins with a 35 mm case design that has been at the heart of NOMOS Glashütte since the brand’s www.onlyreplicawatches.com/ inception. Every element is pared down to its basic form, and perfected in true NOMOS Glasütte style. The straight replica watches lugs with their characteristic kink are a perfect example of this, allowing the case to comfortably hug the wearer’s wrist while remaining replica watches uk simple, geometric and perfectly proportioned. While at first glance the 35 mm case of the Ludwig Reference 201 might look identical to the Tangente, it is in the fine details that the Ludwig develops a fake rolex classical personality of its own. The crown at 3 o’clock receives a small tapering flourish, calling to mind the ornate dress fake Rolex watch crown designs of yesteryear, while the elemental straight lugs without that signature kink offer a more understated and replica rolex traditional profile.
This excellent website really has all the info I needed concerning this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
