We'll be back in Cleveland in late December. PM me or Kcott if you wanna meet up. We had no idea where to go... the one good place we found was some Irish pub - its name is long forgotten.
If I remember correctly, it was called Flanagan's. Now the bar whose name I don't remember is the one I threw up in, or the one where I was passed out on the table and you were pouring worcester sauce and salt on my head.

I think the name Independence should be reserved for a CVN or LHD....not a damn LCS.

I'm willing to make a $100 dollar bet with anyone who can ever prove me wrong...no ship ever ran aground while navigating on GPS. Any takers? First winner only...no multiple jackpots.

Well we know that the opposite is true.... and its all well and good until the GPS tries to kill you :D

Next the Navy will be adding a selection from Primary: Jets, Props, Helos, or UAVs. Good luck with that!
