Tis a long story...started in the days he was a moderator on the Ubi forums.

His mate and another ex Ubisoft moderator who came over to the dark side to help us was.....I've forgotten his name but I've got his real name and a picture :oops:

Can you remember who the Ubisoft SH3 moderators were?

EDIT

Just remembered...Realjambo

Not a clue. My memory is great for things that interest me and for embarassing mistakes I've made, but a lot of the time I don't remember all the moderators here. :oops:

Have the been an earlie version of USS Nimitz in USN with that name? I have always learn that ship were named after some famouse person in US, after they had died

What I have known until now is that USS Nimitz was named after a famouse fleet admiral. The carries first journey was in the beginning of the 70'ies.

No the carrier was the first Nimitz.

Although there is a Camp Nimitz at the Naval Training Center in San Diego.

August was making a reference to a movie.
