Well, for those of you who don't know, B&B'er Price, Steward in the Soap forum, and a Senior Chief Petty Officer in the Navy (I think, correct me if I got that wrong, Price, I'm a flyboy), is leaving his post as NCOIC of the Navy's electronics school at the Naval Training Center Great Lakes, Illinois for sunny Naval Base San Diego and a stint aboard the USS Chancellorsville (CG-62).
The Chancellorsville is a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, commissioned in November, 1989, and named for the Battle of Chancellorsville, a major campaign in the U.S. Civil War in 1863. The Chancellorsville (for my fellow weapons nuts) carries Tomahawk and Harpoon guided missiles, as well as a variety of surface to air missiles, anti-submarine missiles, two 5-inch MK45 gun mount, two .98 caliber chain guns, several of the venerable old "Ma Deuce" .50 cal, designed by Saint John Moses Browning, a couple of Phalanx anti-ship missile systems, and finally, a couple of triple-tube Mark 32 torpedo launchers. And if that is not enough, it also carries two Sikorsky LAMPS III Helicopters. Talk about a GUY's PLAYGROUND!
We thank you for your service, I, for one, am jealous of your next duty assignment, much more interesting than my desk-bound and road warrior gig, and I'm sure I speak for us all when I wish you and your family the very best of luck in your new home and new assignment. Be careful with your straights in rough weather (Maybe you should learn to handle a DE just in case? Time to learn??), and don't forget your pals here at B&B! We expect regular posts of pics from your travels, crappy cell phone pics are perfectly acceptable.

Wait, what are all of those Navy guys going to say when they see his pretty, pretty floral soaps and other perfumey things? 
I don't think those guys are down with lilac and lily of the valley around their Tomahawks and .50 cal.
