Hiya Navy Bro!

Question: one of the Pearl Harbor pics showed the USS Arizona's forward magazine exploding.

What is the magazine as it pertained to a ship?

Good evening, Army Bro! A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours!

The magazine is the compartment on a ship where the explosives are kept.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"
This is the Arabic character "nun" – the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes."
