GALVESTON, Texas (Sept. 19, 2008) The Edsall-class destroyer escort Stewart (DE 238)
and the Gato-class submarine Cavalla (SS 244), both museum ships at Seawolf Park on
Pelican Island in Galveston, Texas, are shown entirety on land. The floating museums were
carried off their moorings during Hurricane Ike's storm surge.

Arrggghhh! :damn:

[JHuschke]

Noooo...our war museums..these are great..things..to be here..why go!?

[Fincuan]

Go Navy :rotfl:

Floating on dry land?

[Skybird]

I wonder why somebody displays SS-runes and reference to a SS-division Hiterjugend in his posts. Are you a Nazi? You must understand, the question recommends itself. In Germany you now would need to talk to the police first, and the judge second. :hmm:

Do you have a link? I can't find it. :doh:

Fantastic.

Glorification of the fashist SS, and some real Nazis there. Just what several dozen millions died for.

Fantastic.

Another name added to the list.

[Platapus]

does anyone have any reports on the damage to these vessels?

[Blacklight]

I suppose it's bettern than them being torn off their moorings and now ending up halfway accross the Gulf of Mexico.

Well technically they were floating museums at some point during the storm... :-j

[Sailor Steve]

They weren't washed up on shore; the entire ocean level has just dropped several feet.

You should see Queen Mary.

No, you are wrong. To me it looks like a regular surfacing manouvre. Don't you see the ocean in the background.

I wonder how long it will take the Public Affairs Officer to realize the goof and tell his command that they can't steal news information from the media? :arrgh!::arrgh!::rotfl::rotfl:

EDIT: According to the site, a Chief took the photo for the tidbit!:o:o:nope::nope::oops::oops:

Hopefully he didn't write it.

Navigation Officer, What is our current depth under keel?

I've actually had to answer "Zero UKC, cap!" to that, once.

Apparently, echo sounders don't work too well under four inches... I need to go back to deep sea shipping.
