Tim Allen - Last week we had the opportunity to give a tour to Mr. Tim Allen and several of his family members. It was a great opportunity to talk about STOUT and also for the crew to meet Mr. Allen.

There were several opportunities for autographs and to ask questions. We wera able to tour the foc'sle, including the five inch gun and the VLS Launcher, the AEGIS Radar platform, the bridge, the wardroom, one of the main engine rooms, the mess decks, contral control station, the flight deck and the quarterdeck. During the tour Mr. Allen was very engaged and had several suggestions on how we could tweak our systems to improve performance.
