Ahoy Shipmates!

Thought you might like to program the DVR or Tivo to catch this tonight on PBS. Or do like me and just watch it!

Also on PBS is a 10 part series about the Nimitz, called Carrier. So, far it has been interesting. I hope they head down to talk to the snipes some. So far its been the aviation folks.

Very interesting show. It was neat to hear sailors who served on her tell their story. Curious that they didn't mention she had a sister ship.

The never did mention the Musashi nor did they mention their sister Shinano, the CV.

I like to hear from the veterans when it is possible.
