Forgive my ignorance...afterall I am an OLD fart..
But is the USS Tarawa what the young grunts refer to as a
"Gator Freighter"..

I heard the expression at a family gathering, but was too embarrased to ask what the hell it was....


Praying for success and survival for all those aboard - going into harm's way.
