Chris,
Did you know that in 1969 the Black managed to survive a hit? At least according to that site my husband found. I'll get the link from him and post it for you. I checked out your site. I like it. Do I have to register in order to post those pictures for you?

Re: Battleship?
Quote:
The USS Independence sunk the USS Kennedy, USS Nimnuts and most of the small boys that accompanied them. We did get "snorkeled" a time or two, damned bubble heads are hard as hell to find some days. We played a lot of cards! I saw whole paychecks thrown in to pots a few times, way to rich for me. Checkers, Chess, Backgammon were pretty popular. Don't recall any Battleship games, sure some one could have had one out of 5,ooo plus guys. We played Monopoly from about a month, same game, don't remember why we stopped. Had a dart board in our berth as well.

I understand that some 30-40 sailors were KIA during the war doing battery-counter battery exchanges with the NVA along the coast of North Vietnam.
I worked a lot with the PBR's and Seawolves in the Mekong Delta. A great bunch of guys. And, BTW, how many buttons are on a bar maids bib?
