U.S. Navy Invades Studio Big, Takes Over ‘Galley’ [PHOTOS]

The U.S. Navy invaded Studio Big this morning and it was alot of fun!

This all came about because a few weeks ago. I was talking about how my Dad used to be in the Navy and would make my brother and I "#$%& on a Shingle!"  Which is chipped beef on toast. Below are some photos from this morning.  Thanks so much to the U.S. Navy, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and of course, the crew members of the USS Topeka for coming in and having some fun with us on air.
