We sure want the Navy to know, that we know our Naval crafts. By the way this was the ship on which the Japanese signed the final surrender documents.

Hello Norm ... thanks for your reply (and it's nice to see you posting still)

Well ... ignorance is cured by enlightenment

One of the beauties of MLU is that wrong information is quickly spotted by someone who knows it's wrong or off somehow, therefore enlightenment can happen

I scooped and pasted the story as a "funny" not knowing the validity ... knowing I didn't know "facts" and that someone would surely say something if I posted something that needed to be "set right" ...

I agree with Hanno that that is indeed an awesome photo ... visually ... I can't comment on the history or the ship itself... but it's a powerful photo in and of itself. Which reminds me ... it's time to try Geoff's DVD player to see if I can finally view that CD ... I'm impatient to (a long time ago

: )

Hey Norm, is it Spring there yet?
