Stan, the tough old Saratoga, CV-3, I think she was (I'm no sailor), finally went down after 2, count 'em 2, atomic bomb blasts at Bilini Atoll in 1946.

Heard some sailors cried when she went down. Don't blame 'em.

But that is a great pic from David. I tend to focus in on the construction details. Look at all that wasted effort on trim and other artistic flourishes that's long since been costed out of such work.

Truly we've come a long way, baby.
