This aircraft carrier was brought into the river as the Victory Rover turned to head south. The Norfolk Naval Base is the home of NATO's Atlantic operations and the US's Atlantic fleet making in the largest in the world -- 100,000 workers and 150 ships. Our tour lasted about two hours; however, we learned what was on both sides of the river and Jim was able to enjoy the sights without trying to navigate and watch for traffic. We all went to Mo & O'Malleys Irish Pub for dinner. While dining, the evening entertainment started which was Mercy Creek described as earthy, edgy, music combined with aggressive folk rock. Yes, we will return here for more corned beef and cabbage and hope the same group is performing.
