Hey guys, SH5 is addictive!! And that's just in stock form! Between reading here on the forum and learning to hunt in-game I don't leave myself much time to post.

Well anyway, I thought some of you history buffs might be interested in the story of my Grandfather. This is the ship that wouild have carried him across the Channel to France on D-day: The USS Susan B. Anthony was the Flagship transport for the Normandy Invasion, was the sirst ship to sink at Normandy, after striking a mine, and is in the Guiness book of World records for the "largest ship to ship naval rescue, with zero loss of life".
Grampa Joe made it to France, but arrived on D-day+2
