On 27 January, Den 5 (Tiger Cubs) travelled down to the naval base to visit the destroyer USS Pinkney while she was in port. We also invited Tiger Cub Den 8 from Pack 546 to join us there. Some of the crew met us and showed us round the ship. The Tiger cubs visited the weapons control centre, stood on the missile launchers, tried the controls in the bridge and saw a demonstration of various firearms. They also listened while one crew member described how he might board another ship and another demonstrated the use of firefighting gear.
