Dick, I did forget to add that in Commander Jones letter, he mentioned that the New Jersey averaged 28 knots from South America to Lebanon. I don't quite remember whether it took 11 or 12 days, but that's moving for any type of ship.
I always thought that LBNSY was closed so that San Diego's private contractors could get the ship overhaul work. Who was that former mayor of San Diego who ended up in a high political position in California? Petey Wilson? LBNSY was the only Naval shipyard showing a profit every year, yet BRAC closed us down in budget cuts. As for the private contractors in San Diego, they did and probably still do lousy work and now the Naval ships have to steam to Bremerton to get any decent work done.
I read about the truck window smashing on the other website and didn't know it was you because it wasn't signed. Your neighbor's truck was also vandalized?
