All those ships were at Pearl Harbor, and several were at the Japanese
surrender in Tokyo Bay.

Remember Scapa Flow where the German High Seas Fleet was scuttled after
WWI? I read something recently that I found interesting. Apparently,
because those ships were forged before the nuclear age, they don't
contain any radioactive isotopes. Some of the metal is now being
salvaged for use in space probes and other sensitive mechanisms. From
the Battle of Jutland, to deep space, who would have known?

Bingo! Those ships, sunk at Pearl Harbor, arose again and avenged the
attack on America by taking the battle back to the enemy. They won
dozens of battle stars and other awards for meritorious service. I
hope the same for the USS New York.

IMHO, they should all have been converted to museums (locally, like
the USS North Carolina), rather than be sold for scrap.

Apparently, John needs a primer on history.... and Loogy? We'll, he's
still just being a demonstrably ignorant idiot.

I am glad that's what you meant. On the surface, it sounded much like
something Krause would have said. I should have known better.

Sorry about that.

Not a problem..... and if you do make the move to NC, you'll be
closer to the USS NC museum and hopefully it will be enhanced by the
addition of the USS Kitty Hawk. Charleston's Patriots Point is a good
show, too!

Well, now it looks as though we'll stay here for a couple more years.
I'm in the mood to move, but SWMBO is having second thoughts. Our next
door neighbor just moved back down there and bought a beautiful house
on an acre for half of what his sold for here. He's just north of Wake
Forest.
