And further specified that the "model should recreate how she looked when she was first commissioned and put into service." It goes without saying that it took me much longer to build than I expected - taking well over three times the hours that it takes to build a “simple” 7 inch destroyer...

"As a plankowner, you have the distinction of being part of the first crew for a ship that will serve the United States Navy longer than any of us will," said Dewitt who is a plankowner on USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74).
"A Navy tradition is that every plankowner is 'bonged' off the ship, with the same respect generally given to a high-ranking officer.
Although it has been a few year since I was bonged off, I still keep track of her (Stennis) and wish her well…she will always be special to me," said DeWitt.
