None of these are mine. They were downloaded mainly from several NGs. My apologies to the OPs but I did not record their names. -- HP, aka Jerry "And, that's all I'm going to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

begin 644 Pearl Harbor 15.jpg The two destroyers forward in the slip are Cassin and Downes Thanks muchly, Tony! I'll add that to my file name. As you'd imagine, these are generally all named as found mainly from a.b.p.military. -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |

Thanks again for pointing out the names of these two ships. -- HP, aka Jerry "And, that's all I'm going to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

Please tell me what "HWMI" means, a typo because W is next to E perhaps? As to the pics, I wish I could claim credit for them but most of the "Usenet" ones were downloaded from a.b.p.military. -- HP, aka Jerry "And, that's all I'm going to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

Joevan, that's what I thought. I think I'm getting too paranoid from constant haranging by the trolls in the car picture NGs and thought you were being a smart-aleck especially since my comment that you quoted was me apologizing for just that. No harm, no foul. Glad you're enjoying my pictures. One of these days I'm going to invest in a decent dedicated 35mm slide and neg scanner and go after what I think are perhaps 1,000 or so "keepers" out of 5,000-7,000, maybe more, slides I took while I was stationed in West Germany while in the U.S. Army circa 1971 and my many family vacations until I went over to the Dark Side and switched to home video when my daughter was young. I know I have an entire slide tray of the original Queen Elizabeth when she was berthed at Port Everglades, Florida prior to being bought the the Japanese and sunk at sea being towed home. And, I think I have pics from places like Patriot's Point and other ship museums. But, summer is coming, my long illness seems to be getting better and I need to get my strength back before the car show season starts in a couple of months. -- HP, aka Jerry "And, that's all I'm going to say about that" - Forrest Gump |

Lots of beautiful wood in her corridors and salons. Then I made the return trip on the SS United States. Another great ship, still here in Philadelphia awaiting what we hope is a restoration. She was know to have almost no wood in her. One of the officers proudly said that the only wood on her was the butcher block and the pianos. I was fortunate to tour the engine rooms of both ships. Quite an adventure on the QE. I will never forget the little entry ways where the pressure had to be equalized before full entry and the huge prop shafts so shiny and long. |

Quite an adventure on the QE. I will never forget the little entry ways where the pressure had to be equalized before full entry and the huge prop shafts so shiny and long. Yes, it was a grand lady. I forget when she went into service but I do recall that she never entered commercial trans-Atlantic service because of the start of WWII and was immediately refitted as a troop carrier. IIRC, all of the luxurious wood paneling, the stateroom furniture, the art, etc. was carefully taken off and stored for the duration of the war. One thing was thought interesting about both Queens was their ability to run through the Battle of Atlantic without an escort, relying on their ultra-high speed to avoid U-Boat attacks. You say you rode on the QE in 1965. I visited her in January, 1970. While I certainly agree with your love of the ship, by the time I viewed her, the art deco decor and dark paint and wood made it look quite out-of-style. One of the pictures I have was taken down a corridor the full length of that deck. As I recall, she was 1083 feet long and 80,000+ tons, both small by today's huge cruise ship standards. And, you also had the pleasure of making the return trip on the United States? I'm not an expert on these things, but again IIRC, the U.S. for a brief time took the transatlantic speed record away from the QE. I didn't know she was in Philly. If I ever get there again, I'd sure love to see her. The QE tour in Florida included the bridge, 1st and 2nd class staterooms, dining areas, and also the engine room. When I was in California in 1993, my family and I toured the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Another grand lady from a bygone age. Interestingly, the QM isn't floating, as most musuem ships are not. They have the stern of the ship cut away near the port propeller so tourists can look down on it through the water. Thanks for the story, Joevan, and for allowing me to reminisce on these great ships. -- HP, aka Jerry "And, that's all I'm going to say about that" - Forrest Gump |
