News corrections...
Hehe, I've just gotten onto the Los Angeles Times! (Well, sorta...)
So, April 14. Two days after the Maersk Alabama rescue, and LA Times is running an article, complete with a diagram showing the relative sizes of Bainbridge and the lifeboat. I get to that page... Wait a minute! Bainbridge is a Burke DDG...it doesn't have fore-and-aft Mk 26 launchers! But, on the other hand, Bainbridge was also a CGN... My class was quite surprised at my perhaps overloud reaction. Ditto my rush to the computer, but it is Speech-and-Debate post-competition season, where the class is similar to a force of nature, only more random. Long story short, the next day the correction pops up. Naval geekery pays off!:rock: |
The old Bainbridge looked cooler.*nods*
