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? |

"Jim222" wrote in message ... Thanks Wild Boor White. I keep making the same weather mistake. I'm glad you are there persistently to remind me of the correct spelling. You might as well be on an island. Your place is sticking out like a hangnail from the mainland. We just might end up as an island if y'all down there don't stop causing global warming...with melting icecap & rising seas. |

I've never lived on an island in my life. BTW it's whether...not weather. I doubt floridajim knows the difference between those two words. But he is a close friend of Eisboch, and served his country doing really important stuff in the navy during the war we lost to vietnam. What the hell does this post have to do with Eisboch?

Hopefully. I believe it already has. Did I miss something? What's it done? Poorly worded on my part. The steel it was made from came back from an attack and lives to fight back, which is the opportunity the mentioned ships received. If that's not it, maybe Gene will clarify. Most probably that's what he meant. At least I hope so. I'd bet most of the steel post-war went into building Toyotas. |
