Found it. It's the U.S.S Turner Joy. Located in Washington and used as a historical tour guide attraction.

A first thing first, the “stain” referred to by my esteemed colleague is the Kansas State University Power Cat. Granted our recent gridiron performance is nowhere close to that of the SEC and the Bayou Bengal’s. However our journey, under Bill Snyder, from the depths of college football hell to a Big 12 Championship is one of the greatest stories in the history of college football.
The picture you’re referring to is of the USS Turner Joy. As Andy told us it is a Sherman Class Destroyer, currently harbored at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Reagan and I toured the boat this summer prior to a ferry ride from Bremerton over to Seattle. Read more here.

Many of my family have served in our nations armed forces, my father in the Air Force, my grandfather in the Army, and four uncles in the Navy. I was always very envious of my cousins who spent many long summer days on the fantail of the Constellation, the Ranger, or the Teddy Roosevelt watching weapons systems demonstrations during the family cruise from Hawaii to port in San Diego. Sean and Brett never missed an opportunity to finish the last few days with their father aboard whichever carrier he was finishing his tour on. Lucky Bastage's!!
Some Christmas and New Year's photos.... (and, yes, that's me in the hot pink top-hat and boa on New Year's) =)

This is my wife, Ayde, and my daughter, Arianna, and I.
Unfortunately, I'm not completely versed on how to do the nice thumbnails like everyone else has. So if somebody would like to school me on that, I will gladly fix my picture. Sorry.
