I was on the JFK in the '70's/ It would be impressive to see 3 carrier groups at once in the same area.

I wish my son would call me!!!!! He said he was having "fun" when he called last week. He was on shore leave somewhere over there for a couple of days. He said they were really busy these days.

The idea is to put enough pressure on Iran so that they strike first or create an incident. Then...look out!

I think Hohn Stennis was one of the old-time, strong defense Democrats who was very pro military. Kind of like "Scoop" Jackson.

I had hoped to make it down to see her sail this morning, but couldn't. I did see her last summer in Puget Sound, and it was an impressive sight indeed!

The women called him Stennis the Menace. The chicks wouldn't have sex with him because he was a carrier.

Do you suppose there will ever be a ship named after Barney Frank? And what kind of a ship might it be? Maybe a sub, since they go down a lot.

When I went to Norfolk last October when my son shipped out I did nothing but cry and take a thousand pictures.

May your son and his shipmates have a safe deployment.
Please thank him for his service. And thank you.

Maybe an Iranian submarine? After all it would be full of Iranian semen [sic].....
