Not really an era, I guess, but today the final Arleigh Burke class destroyer, the Michael Murphy, headed down the Kennebec and out to sea. Many were on hand to see it, and we took Malcolm and two of his guests on Autumn.
BIW is now building superstealth destroyers. Probably they will be wearing disguises as they cruise silently to the sea.
It's always a thrill to see a BIG SHIP!
Oooh! Toby has still never seen a BIG SHIP coming around the corner, and I don't think the boys have, either. Strange, that. Such a powerful image of my childhood, and a positive one, despite the scare in the Special K!
