Hey nilla and righteous. Welcome.

Hey righteous, if you get a chance to stomp around in the forest out there get us some pics of things (if you have a digital camera). I keep snakes as a hobby and like reptiles so if you come across some get some pics I'll owe ya

What kind of ship do you captain?

WEB, you had mentioned wanting to come to Alabama but decided otherwise, but if you would have made it down to Mobile, you could have gone on board the USS Alabama battleship. It is pretty cool.



They also have the uss Alabama submarine too.

WEB du bois,

cool pics dude , thanks,
I used to be a captain on merchant marine but lately working
as a superintendent.

once visited USS ESSEX in San diego Ca. and it was great
we were served bbq on board and given a cool tour around.

the most amazing was that these vessels can switch the propeller
from Ahead to astern and stop in a very short distance ...
unlike ordinary ships . we are talking about from 35 kts full ahead
to full astern and in minutes the speed is zero kts.
