You should see the ham club's metal boat....the USS Yorktown (CV-10)
Naval Museum at Patriot's Point in Charleston. Their ground is a WHOLE
AIRCRAFT CARRIER! Signal reports read like we were a 50KW broadcast
flamethrower...(c; Club callsign is WA4USN (United States Navy), of
course...

Larry W4CSC....for Charleston South Carolina

Hey Larry,

Here is a bit of trivia for you.
Who welded the name on the CV 10 while she was at the Bremerton
shipyard geting refit for jets and Korea?

Bob

You did....but I wasn't going to bring it up about the fire....(c;

Naa, it was my mom.

She also built Liberty ships in WW2 at the JA Jones yard in GA. Her
name is Rebecca. Just a litle triva for the guys back on the Yorktown.

Next time I'm in the Yorktown office, I'll tell them. They love those
stories....(c;

Tell Mom she's STILL a great ship....

It just isn't fair.
