Morning aomagrat. The Forrestal Fire story is full of heroics. It also proves that in the military there is danger no matter where you are.

It's amazing the different look when the ship is painted white vs battleship grey. For some reason it doesn't "look" as deadly in white.

I imagine the feeling sailors have for "their" ship is the same that those in the Army have for "their" unit. A lot of pride involved.You could hear it in the voices of the Tarawa crew as they showed us around.

Great read about an awful incident. I agree with you, snippy, about the American fighting man (and woman). The bad guys always seem to think we're soft and lazy because our country is so prosperous and so contentious. It doesn't seem to occur to them to ponder how we got that way, through hard work and individual initiative that in our system is rewarded.

I agree, Sam. Keeping America great by staying out of the socialist swamp is something that unites us in the conservative cause.
