Awesome post. Thanks...

The USS Cowpens (CG63) is a Ticonderoga class frigate, and the second Navy ship to bear that illustrious name. The first was an escort carrier that saw service in t he Pacific in WW II. She was nicknamed "The Mighty Moo.." (G)

Take a moment and read about the ship's coat of arms and motto. Many of the items depicted reference the Battle of Cowpens.

Good evening, Ken, and thanks very much for the kind words. Thanks for the link to the USS Cowpens - I knew about the predecessor USS Cowpens - CVL-25, but not about the new one.



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
