USS Theodore Roosevelt

It was Christmas Eve, 2006, and Dave took us on a tour of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which he had been assigned to. It was undergoing maintenance in Norfolk, VA at the time.

I feel bad about the treatment of Captain Crozier and the resulting low morale of the crew.  The captain seems like a decent man.  Maybe he'll be reinstated?  I hope all of the stricken crew make full recoveries.

We got to go up in the tower to the bridge. We also saw the berth areas, hangars, dining hall, and Dave's office.  We were struck by what a maze the ship is and how one could easily get lost.
