Looks very nice. I think I might wait until the So Dak comes out, hopefully, to partner with Washington for a little Solomon seas shoot out. Happy for all of you who guys who have been waiting for her.

Thanks for the est.date gator.

Question, the Wash, was she the sister ship to the N. Caro ?? Or the S. Dak ? And where does the Bama fit into this scheme ?
