Interesting, i didn’t know they reassembled that plane.
Is the fact that #4 is feathered mean anything, I know they shut them down in flight but seems odd for ground ops
AKA China bird or PR32, I've done many a mod on that aircraft and other EPs.
Surprised the Pensacola museum didn't snap that one up.

Looks like fire handle #2 is also pulled
She was originally named USS Tennessee (not sure why the Navy renamed her to Memphis in 1916 [edit: maybe to make room for the battleship USS Tennessee]). A wardroom silver platter went from that USS Tennessee to BB-43 USS Tennessee and was on her when she was sunk, raised, and repaired at Pearl Harbor. Now that silver platter is in a display frame on SSBN-734 USS Tennessee which is sunk, raised, and repaired regularly.

These digital voting booth instructions are doing the most.
Stayed at the Navy Lodge on Ford Island for work this week and found myself with some time to kill. Discovered there’s a “history trail” around the perimeter of the island, including the Utah Memorial, and passing by Missouri and Arizona. 
Has placards showing the history of the island from 1900-ish onwards, before, during, and after the war, including the histories of the surviving prewar buildings, seaplane ramps, etc. Ford Island’s odd status as a sort of combo history park, active base, tourist attraction, and nature preserve means the whole place has a cool frozen-in-time vibe. It’s a good 4-mile, easy walk. If you find yourself there and you’re a history nerd (guilty), I recommend it.
NOAA’s main Pacific operations center and piers are on the north side of the island
