I was deployed twice for 4th of July and the ship`s form of fireworks was awesome. Took around 400 tracers and linked em consecutivly for the M2 50 and the M60 and them illum rounds for the 5 inch and then fire for effect off the CWIS all to the Star Spangled Banner, National ANthem and Ol Glory lite up at night. SOmething I will never forget and will cherish I was there to witness.
