Anybody else catch the mild irony that the Hunley crew will lie in state onboard the USS Yorktown at Patriot's Point in Mount Pleasant? Two points:

1) Eight brave Confederate soldiers being honored by lieing in state onboard one of the most distinguished ships in the United States Navy, permanently moored across from the city from which they sailed. I think it's a nice touch.

2) They'll be onboard the same ship that John Pierre Kerry (D-Paris) used as the backdrop for his Presidential beret-in-the-ring speech.

Perhaps you missed the irony of the bodies being honored by a ship of the same Navy which the Hunley sank?
