USS Hornet #2

This part of the trip was interesting for us and young Ella. Indeed, she had a ball as we shall see. We progressed through rooms with charts, echo sounders and other devices to locate a ship and help it navigate difficult waters and on to the captain's suite complete with bed and shower right next to the steering wheel. Here's Ella imagining she's steering the vessel on the directions of the captain and adjusting the angle of the rudder and power of the engines


And here she is as captain - the lord of all she surveys from a nice padded chair.


With this view in front.


However, if the admiral of the fleet were to be aboard, he or she would sit here and could perhaps overrule the captain. So Ella seemed both more comfortable and reflective in this position!


Perhaps one day she'll be placed in command of a fleet, but that's some years ahead.
