Good morning and thanks.
Sorry about slacking off the past few days. Too many sidetrips and not enough watchful...
I’ll be around.

We got interrupted on last thread. Threw me off when you mentioned Lexington because there were two. But the CV-16 was the second, Essex class. The Essex boats earned their keep. I never worked on any WW II vintage hulls. As I recall Forrestal was maybe the closest. We bundled up a bunch of plate when McCain and his bunch tried to sink it. Patched it up just in time for the same bunch trying to sink the Enterprise. I still have a piece of paperweight steel from that cleanup. The Oriskany got off lucky.
