If I may speak for the whole Alabama Nat'l Guard,

Happy Birthday to the proud old Lady, and many happy returns of the occasion!

*PS... Ferret, do we have a Connie in comission now, or was the carrier taken out in the 90's the last one so far?

As a matter of fact, I know where her Sea Valve is located today.

LOL... glad to know that part of her is still around and working.

I knew that she was decommissioned but not when exactly.

I'll be in San Diego working on the Ronald Reagan.

I wasn't sure If you could say where and on what online or Not, That's why I was a bit vague there.

But Man, I'd Be honored to step on that ship. It's one of the Few Ships, I'd like to see In real Life. BTW, In case no one told you in along time, Thanks for your service Steve. This American Thanks You Alot.


Stephen Hoping to see you and Amy soon.

Yeha the Sea Valve is proudly serving on board the USS Russell (DDG-59)
This is the reason why I know of this, I hepled install it (long story).

Thanks for the support man!  Now the ship you are talking of is 'Old Iron Sides' right?
I had the oppertunity to sail along side her when I was on the USS Ramage (DDG-61)
after the Navy refurbished the old gal in 97 and made her own way for her first time since WW2!
We got a twenty one gun salute along with her and the Blue Angles made a pass over her and then us afterward, it was neat.  I'd love to do that again.

I Bet. I talked to an Old WW2 vet the other day, and they where In Port. Of course there wasn't enough Berths, so they Laid GangPlanks across so everyone on Leave could go to town. He was able to Cross Through the Deck of the Enterprise to get to the dock.

I had to smile a Small smile to myself, when I heard of that, and thought of My Friends here.

My Grandfather also served there For a short time. He was Being Transported to the Japanese Front, and Caught a ride with them. He was a great Mechanic, so of course the Army made him a Nurse.
