Submarines are boats. Surface vessels over 500 tons are ships.I sure am getting an education here tonight!
To all the sailors on the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard, Thank You for your service to America and God Bless.

That's why it was sad to see the Iowa Class battleships retired. Nothing is as intimidating as the silhouette of one of those battlewagons.

Probably no Apaches on board her at this time. More likely Super Cobras. Still a 9.9 on the pucker factor. Plus a couple of AV-8B Harriers would make it a full 10!

True and what the ROE is. At the very least running them over with 44,000 tons could of been a good day!

Original Bonhomme Richard was an unbelievable piece of junk. All the French would allow us.
