For those down in the city, the schedule for public visitation is as follows:
Wednesday, November 4 - 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.I encourage anyone who lives close to the city to get out and see her. The ship is a lot bigger than you think, and is a lot different than any Navy ship you have ever been on. If you haven't been on an LPD-17 class ship yet, you should have a look around (particularly Marines who have deployed on other amphibious ships).
Thursday, November 5 - 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Sunday, November 8 - 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Monday, November 9 - 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Tuesday, November 10 - 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Wednesday, November 11 - 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
They may have completely screwed up the USS San Antonio (LPD 17), but I believe there is something special about this class of ship, and the Navy would be wise to build as many of them as possible.
Also, whoever decided to take a MV-22 and CH-53 on her to the ceremony is very smart. Having them on the flight deck for everyone to see... nice touch.
