Ships passing ... but not in the night
« on: December 26, 2020, 08:13:35 PM »


When USS Independence encountered a full-rigged ship in the Mediterranean in 1962, the carrier signaled to ask the sailing vessel to identify itself. “Training ship Amerigo Vespucci, Italian Navy,” was the response.“ The Independence reportedly signaled back, "You are the most beautiful ship in the world.” #SeaStorySaturday

Dad was on the Indy from 73-76
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
