This picture of the USS Beloit is my iPhone wallpaper. Unfortunately, I missed the livestream of the ship commissioning. I ended up watching most of the replay on YouTube but fast forwarded through all but the last 19 minutes.

I’m obsessed with naval ships because my dad was in the U.S. Navy. I’m particularly fond of the USS Beloit because it’s named after my hometown. I wish my dad had been alive so that we could have seen it in commissioned in person.

Weird fact: I’ve only been on a pontoon boat once and got seasickness. I get it when I go swimming. 😹
