On Friday we had a very large group from a Performing Arts High School in Massachusetts. Things went like clock work. Nice way to start the new year.
On Sunday I gave two tours. Right after lunch on Sunday we get a large influx of visitors. I had a very large group. It was a little tough in the smaller compartments. Right behind me was a smaller group that was moving very fast. It would have been great if I could have shifted some of the members of my group to that smaller group. In any case things seemed to work out fine.
On Sunday I noticed a printout of the ammunition load of the USS Slater published on the wall in the gift shop. I thought it would be a great thing to document on the blog:

- 40mm: 3,200 round - 800 clips
- 20mm: 45,720 rounds, when clipped 762 magazines
