Wasn't there an aircraft carrier back in the 50s/60s named USS Bonhomme Richard, affectionately known by her crew as the "Bonnie Dick?" I seem to remember that around Olongapo in 1961. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I firecrackered many a model airplane but for a change, taking my model of the Bismark to a canal we called the swamp and shooting it with my Crossman pump BB/Pellet gun was a fitting end to that great model.

Just like the real Bismark, my model was more difficult to sink than I realized. She was holed many times before a BB tore through her port hull near the waterline and exited her starboard side below the waterline.

Had we known the lyrics, we might have then sung Ich Hatten Einen Kameraden. (German equivalent to Taps).
