So, John, you didn't believe me or did you happen to have this stored away in a long unaccessed portion of gray matter?

Stored away, part of the stuff I do. Read "Mud, Muscles, and Miracles" by Black Bart Barthomomew , lots on the Pearl Harbor salvage... it was where the textbooks got written.

Yep, read it, I have a similar mind that seems to store data, some ridiculous or trivial, just to regurgitate it years later.

Thanks for the "Welcome Aboard". Concur with the "decking over". She was on the opposite side of the island I believe, than the USS Arizona. I just have a bit of a soft spot for her. I was a Communications Watch Officer at Pearl Harbor back in 1994, and I re-enlisted at the Utah Memorial. Not many of my shipmates knew about the place until then.
