National Defense Reserve Fleet...NFDR
The overall mission of the Maritime Administration (MARAD) is to promote the development and maintenance of an adequate, well-balanced United States merchant marine, sufficient to carry the Nation's domestic waterborne commerce and a substantial portion of its waterborne foreign commerce, and capable of serving as a naval and military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency.

MARAD also seeks to ensure that the United States enjoys adequate shipbuilding and repair services, efficient ports, effective intermodal water and land transportation systems, and reserve shipping capacity in time of national emergency.

MARAD has another huge reserve fleet in the James River sanction west of Norfolk Virginia.
Ready reserve fleet[Military sealift command] has alot of ships at the James river sanction.

Hey Jen. I've been to the Foxhole a few times. K-man is doing good, we had a meeting tonight so we just got home. I think it is about time to go to bed though. I just wanted to stop in and say hi.

See ya soon!

[SAMWolf]

LOL! That's one huge White Castle.

Hi everyone, I'm back! Hope you are awake.

Beautiful ships, Phil. Thanks so much for posting them.

She is one CLASSY First Lady. That she understands how hearing support from a First Lady is comforting to the kids of our troops.. just speaks volumes.

Thank you for posting it.

[Darksheare]

Reverse the process?
Ummm... Got bicycling shorts and such?
Alternately, instead of bicycling, is there anywhere to go hiking nearby?
That should work.. unless one goes camping and makes Smores..

Too wierd?
What meanest thou?

[Darksheare]

Yeah, they'd be in bad shape..
I've just confirmed that there are zero White Castles within an acceptable distance to me.
Ther are Wendy's, though.
I hear that Frosty's are a major food group item.

[SAMWolf]

That's a crime. I have Wendy's just up the road so I can get the Frosty

[Darksheare]

Aren't Frosty's a major food group item?

[SAMWolf]

They are to me. Right Below Pepperoni Pizza
