Perfect shot. Broke the ship's keel and she is already sinking.
On a personal note...I know it is necessary and it is the last great service the ship can perform, but it is always sad to me to see a great ship used for target practice.
Anyone old enough to remember a movie called "Operation Petticoat"? Where they had to mix the red and white primer while on their submarine, turning it pink? That was the USS Balao (sp? the fish). It was down in Key West for a while and the sailors were always bringing guests aboard and chipping spots of paint off so they could prove that it had been their ship in the movie. They were so proud of it. I still remember them. It ended up at target practice as well. So sad.

Like our Coast Guard? Unless they changed it, the CG is only under the military in time of war. The rest of the time they are Treasury.

Interesting to know.
They have our poor Border Patrol handcuffed and the illegals running wild. They are afraid one of the illegals might get hurt.

Remembere even away is cool.
I actually like it when just a few pics are posted at a time, unless they are a series. It gives more of a chance to look and enjoy and comment.

My husband said they had a bull dog mascot when he was in the service. It wore sargent stripes and if you did anything to the dog they would get you for striking a superior. The dog got busted down a rate once, I think he said.

Nope but he loved to go on the runs with the company and cut through the lines. Don't kick the dog. Talk about an obstacle course! LOL
