BTW, we were onboard the Destroyer, Joseph P. Kennedy as well. Also an impressive vessel.
Sorry. It's a pet peeve. I was in the Navy. Mostly, I get aggravated when so-called reporters say "U.S. battleships" did this or that when we haven't had a battleship in commission since the first Bush administration.
That having been said, I am immoderately jealous of your trip. I've been trying to get aboard a battleship -- using the technical term -- since I was a kid. I'm hoping that this summer I'll have time to get down to Camden and inspect U.S.S. New Jersey.
