To: USS Alaska
USS Alaska was a very interesting ship.

It resembled the battle cruisers or pocket battleships the Germans had at the beginning of the war. We really didn't need that kind of ship for how we were fighting the Pacific war, but we built it anyway because . . . well, we could.

That was the first USS Alaska.

The USS Alaska that I've selected as a screen name is the second one which is an Ohio class nuke sub on which my son, a now retired Navy Captain, started his 25 year career as a nuke engineer. It was obummer that drove him out when he wanted to stay for another five years, but he couldn't stand the obummer's policies.

Steers or queers, which one are you, boy?

Officer and a Gentleman, one of young Richard Geer's best ever movies.
