Hey, there was/is? a Russian warship in SF bay recently. Oh no, Putin has
reared up and what is he doing? No one knows... sheesh. Sorry, I was
channeling Palin. I'll go wash mouth out.

CoolQ I don't know anythign about Canadian politics or prime

Yes to naval but two thumbs down for the queen. Americans did that
right, dump royalty and the parliamentry ruse.

Yes. the British Prime Minister did thank the crew for representing Britain
at the fleet Review 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy this weekend.
I understand this Saturday is some kind of armed forces day over there.

I highly reccommend a tour of the USS Wasp. The US LHD and LHA class
ships are amazing. The well deck is a sight to behold when it is full of
LVT's or LCAC's.

Normally I avoid crowds...but this might be worthwhile.
If the weather is good (and the reports are favourable) I wouldn't mind
doing my own little review of the fleet in the Princecraft Yukon.
