DEPERM

On November 14-18 we traveled up river on the Elizabeth to the Deperming station and wrapped hundreds of cables around the ship to de-magnitize. It was a lot of work 12 hr days starting at 5:45a till 5p. We got the job done in record time as always.

We ended our surge ready capability on Dec 12 and are now in process of getting ready to go the Dry Dock at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA on Jan 9. I will be living on a floating barge due to the ship being un inhabitable.

We are currently on Holiday Standown period until Jan 5. As i am writing this i am back home in Mississippi on Christmas leave.

Will update from the shipyards.
