I noticed quite a few people are not using avatars. If you need help creating one just e-mail me with the picture you want to use and I will create and install it for you. Make sure you include your user name.

Good Eye Al!

The Massachusetts is nice but how about the last of the Dreadnought class. How about going down into the engine room and seeing massive recips instead of steam turbines. You can't believe the size of the connecting rods.

The following image was taken by USS Texas BB35 gunnery officer, LCDR Charles W. Moses in 1941.
