Cheers!
Thanks Radar! BTW , we share a "nickname". Back in the USN, on board the plane, I was usually called "RADAR" or Sensor 3. [:)]
Honestly, Steve, I have no military experience. I chose the radar handle as an homage to my father, who served in the Pacific as a radarman aboard the U.S.S. Terry.
It was during my historical research of his ship's experience that I happened upon an odd computer game that included his ship. Well, you can imagine what happened once I downloaded the thing.
I can very much imagine. My father in law, when he learned of my WW2 addiction , asked me to research the USS LST 342, where his brother (and all but a couple of the crew died) , and I'd been doing that for over ten years when I first encounterd the ship in WITP. It was very, very creepy. (And when I play that ship generally spend the war as a training vessel in San Diego harbor). With AE , I think I'll send her to the US east coast or somewhere's even safer (so a Mini-sub doesn't enter the harbor and get her. I'd put her on the great lakes if I could!).
Heh. One of my PBEM opponents-USSHenrico-has his handle based upon the ship his father saw action on in WWII. It was hit by a Kamikaze and his father WIA, IIRC. He has already informed me that this particular destroyer will be excessively defended when it is in action. Alternatively, it will be left in port on CONUS.
