Does anyone know of the aftrermath of Israel's attack on our ship? Did they admit fault, did they pay any damages? Was our ship inside their claimed teritory? Seems pretty bad.

Seem to remember a USS New Jersey vet I worked with tell me that the
placing of the new bow on the Wisconsin gave her the distinction of
being the largest (longest) ever U.S. battleship. (By only a couple feet.)
This was much to the chagrin of other battleship sailors.
Can anybody confirm or prove incorrect?

Bill

those deck shots of the battle wagon are excellent, they give real perspective as to the ship's size!! what a feat of engineering!!

Shay,
You should of given me a heads up you were going to be here, you could have helped with the S-2 or C-60 while you were here. Actually let me know the next time you might be in town and I will give you directions out to Fighter Factory.

Aww that sucks. :x :?

Man I wish I had thought to drop by. I'd give my left nut to turn a wrench or two on Lady Lodestar or the Tracker. Hell I'd give my right nut too just to catch the oil drippin's :wink:

Craig I'll definatley give you guys a heads up the next time I'm in town, which should be sometime soon.

By the way do you guys have some recent pictures of the S-2? Also do you guys have a nickname for the Tracker?
