Any Exposure Metering System, on pretty much any Camera, is going to Expose based on 18% reflectivity of Clear Sky Sunlight at High Noon. It doesn't matter if you are using Average Metering, Center Weighted Metering, or even the far more complex Matrix Metering that takes Colours, even Flesh Tones into consideration. The Camera, unless in full Manual Mode will still be picking an Exposure Value, and could be choosing Shutter Speed, f-Stop, ISO Setting to achieve that 18% on whatever it decides to meter on . Newer Cameras can also adjust the Contrast Levels, lightening the Shadows and darkening Overexposed areas. In a Nutshell, what your Eyes, see is rarely what the Camera records.
That said, many Cameras, offer various forms of Overrides to attain desired Results, but many people have Little or No Interest in Learning about the Basics of Photography.

Yeah , I was just going to say that

Got the inside tour when a buddy of mine was stationed aboard. Most of the interior fixtures (at least as of 2008) have not changed, though berthing & machinery every few decades or so. Last major machinery upgrade was 2014-2018 when they temporarily homeported her at the CG Yard for a service life extension done in stages.

Good old Denton…lol
It was a Speed trap pass thru on the way to Rehobeth beach for years.

Have not been down town since they opened the bi-pass up in the late 80’s.

Staying in Easton (20 minutes) would have been a better choice.

i did that once, not as 'fun' especially when my counterpart and I had to double team the operation. She was field op (where i came from) and i was logistics/inventory (where she came from.

i prob spent 4-6 months there, cumulatively.
