[A Navy Vet]

Right on all points, except, it's 32nd Street Naval Station, not NAS. So you're gator Navy huh? I was on the New Orleans (LPH-11). Got word the other day they are going to tow her from central California somewhere to Long Beach, next to the Queen Mary, as a museum.

I caught the "NAS" fluff myself on one of my posts; sorry. I was too typing so fast to set the record straight that I missed it. U.S.S. New Orleans, wasn't that hit by a mine along with U.S.S. Princeton during the Persian Gulf War?
