Not going to give the name and spoil it for someone else, but visiting that vessel's current location is on my bucket list.
Mine, too. Next year!

Uss Arizona. Fun fact: the Nevada actually used Arizona's guns to fire on Iwo Jima.

Hey FightinTigers, since you are pretty good at planes - want to take a crack as to why the toilet bomb was used (as shown in my post on previous page)?

That was the USS Belknap. It was involved with a collision at sea with the USS John F Kennedy during night maneuvers.
I was aboard USS Concord 20 miles to the east and we went to GQ. By the time I got topside, the fire was so intense, it looked like the sun was rising from the west. 8 Sailors were lost that night.
Odd fact, it happened November 22,1975.

Another one:
That's Admiral Spruance. He had to take command of the American carriers right as the fleet was heading out to intercept the Japs in what would be known in history as the Battle of Midway.

Yikes. I should know this one but for the life of me I can't think of his name.
OT, is there some reason why Paige is always giving you a hard time? Did you tap that and leave or something?
