While visiting over at EagleSpeak, I noted that the good Captain had a post up regarding a new "Navy-centric" blog.
Which goes by the name of I don't know; ask the skipper, good stuff therein. Check it out. (The title alone is worth the price of admission. No, it's free. It's just an expression...)
As the proud father (3) and father-in-law (1) of four "Fleet" Lieutenants (three still on active duty), I am always on the look-out for Navy stuff. Good Navy stuff.
So head on over and have a look.
Yes, now. We're done here for the moment.
DISMISSED!
Yes Sargeant!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty water...
I chose that photo for the aquas and the blues that were in it.
DeleteThe ships are pretty too. ;-)
I woulda chosen it because it has pics of the greyhounds of the sea.
DeleteThe aquas and blues can be kinda boring when you're steaming (a term not currently a reality) through them.
(Dieseling through doesn't have much appeal)
Anyhow... they sure make tin cans a lot bigger than they used to... 4100 tons as opposed to 2250 tons
BTW, thanks ;-)
DeleteActually the Flight III Arleigh Burkes weigh in around 9800 tons!
DeleteBTW, you're most welcome. ;-)
DeleteOops... I went looking at FFGs instead of DDGs.
DeleteThey were still a lot bigger.
Ah yes, a fig would weigh about that much.
DeleteAnd yes, even the Perrys outweigh the old tin cans.
