Treasure Hunt Tycoon

The battleship USS Iowa is not familiar to many people. For another translation method, military fans know it well: Iowa-class battleships!

This series of warships began construction on July 1, 1939, and began serving on February 22, 1943. It served the United States for nearly 5 years and was nicknamed the Presidential battleship.

The nickname was earned because of its flagship in 1943, which led the **** of President Franklin Roosevelt across the Atlantic to meet with the British and Soviet supreme leaders.

"To this end, this battleship specially installed a bathtub for President Roosevelt, and she became the only warship in the history of the United States Navy to provide a bathtub for the president."

As she was on the road, Tina introduced with a smile: "I spent time in a bathtub when I was a kid. It was very interesting. The Navy respected President Roosevelt. The bathtub installed for him is absolutely comfortable."

The driver said: "Miss, you must be from the rich home. This battleship will not easily show the president's bathtub, let alone let it in."

Tina took a moment's notice, and quickly responded, "Oh, is that so? We were visiting the school as a whole, maybe there are some special honors."

The battleship Iowa is maintained and operated by the Pacific Battleship Center. The US Navy has invested heavily in this, so this retired battleship is well-preserved.

Far across the coast, Li Du saw the warship.

As if a ferocious beast stood on the sea, the battleship of steel and steel stood on top, and his strong and burly body could bring great impact. After seeing it, Mr. Li sighed: "Heaven, what a big guy ! "

The battleship Iowa is of course the big guy, with a displacement of about 45,000 tons, a length of 27o meters and a width of 32 meters.

You know, the longest standard football field is only 12o meters long, and the short one is only 9o meters. This battleship can have three football fields. How amazing?

You need to buy a ticket to visit the battleship, because it is not during the festival, so there are not many visitors, only some tourists are on the boat.

Li Du went to buy two tickets, Tina bought two drinks, and they got on board.

When he stepped on the ramp, he felt that the volume of the warship was even more terrifying. Someone was scrubbing the hull and hanging on it like a spiderman.

Looking at the hull, he couldn't help but say, "In terms of fares, it's difficult to maintain this ship with commercial income alone, right?"

There are too few tourists. He bought two tickets for a total of less than 20 yuan. This is because there are usually few tourists and discount activities at the attractions.

Tina shrugged: "This ship exists not to make money, but to pay tribute to the best and last usable battleship in the world and to those who have served on the ship, while also providing an educated audience to the visiting audience. platform."

The two got on board, Li Du took a picture, and Tina explained to him.

Standing in the battery area, the three main guns pointed at the sky in oblique stabs, and the cannons with 5 calibers were like the spears that can destroy the world in myth and legend.

Tina said, "Look at the turret No. 2. On April 19, 1989, during the firing exercise of this ship, the turret exploded and 47 navies were killed. This is the largest casualty in the history of the US Navy after World War II."

Li Du said with emotion: "We Chinese think soldiers are ominous. This thing is a double-edged sword. It not only hurts people, it can also hurt ourselves."

Tina smiled and said, "But we always need weapons to provide protection. Therefore, it is not the weapon that can hurt people, but the person who controls the weapon."

This is the general attitude of American people towards weapons, and it is precisely for this reason that the ban on guns cannot be implemented throughout the United States.

People believe that the government should find ways to teach people to use guns reasonably to avoid hurting people, instead of prohibiting the use of guns. Only incompetent governments can play a one-size-fits-all instruction.

The two cruised on the battleship for a long time. After disembarking with a bunch of photos, Tina took Li Du to the Queen Mary next door.

Queen Mary's fare is $ 14. This is a luxurious ocean-going cruise ship. It is larger, more dreamy and safer than the famous Titanic.

The ship served in 1936 and crossed the Atlantic 1oo1 times. In these voyages, I don't know how many dignitaries, rich people, royal family members, and even transported the army.

However, its most famous place is the haunted rumors. It is said that many people have seen dancing white ghosts here, and some people have seen ghosts with children's figures shuttle inside and outside the pillars.

Compared with the battleship Iowa, this ship is more popular because it is not only an old ship museum, but also part of it has been converted into a hotel.

Tina asked, "How guts are you?"

Li Du said, "It's okay to live here tonight ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Tina thumbs up:" You're great, I don't have much to worry about, but I'm afraid of ghosts, they, uh, They are a bit scary. "

There are many people who are afraid of ghosts, but more curious.

In order to attract tourists, Queen Mary also launched a ghost hunting service.

Li Du is not so boring, but he takes the attitude of ghosts and gods rather than credibility, and there are introductions of ghosts and gods in eastern and western cultures as well as in global culture.

I don't know if it is to suppress these ghosts or what is going on. There is a cathedral on the boat, and someone happens to be married here today.

Family members in festive clothes saw the two and invited them into the church.

Li Du and Tina are the best choices. Maybe Li Du is not a handsome guy, but the Americans value their body and body more than appearance. He exercises every day and has a good figure.

Therefore, the two were selected to the front row of the church, and the family hoped that they would bless the new couple on behalf of the tourists.

Li Duxin promised that when the priest announced that the newcomer was a legal couple, he and Tina went up to hug the newcomer and blessed them forever.

The groom gave a bouquet of flowers to the two with a smile, and said, "Bless the lover finally become a dependent, two, I hope you can step up to the church to receive God's blessing soon."

Li Du and Tina laughed awkwardly, apparently, they were mistaken for a couple.

However, it is no wonder that young men and women go to church to attend a wedding together. Where else is there other than couple status?

Anyway, the two sides did not know, Li Du did not explain, just like Tina said, enjoy the surprise brought by life.

In the morning, both of them stayed on two ships. During lunch, Hans called and asked them where they were, saying that they would have a dinner together.
