Oh yeah.. I remember that yard period, and remember you guys (LBNSY yard workers) working on those elevators. (cussing and *****ing them out as well) My current ship was built in Bath Maine, and we have some other guys on here that were on a sister ship of the Momsen (the Pinckney) that was built in Ingalls.. They said that the quality of work on the Bath built ship is MUCH better than the Ingalls ships, and I can believe it.

Remember you guys patching up the holes in the Ranger before she was pulled up to Bremerton, and one late evening, I walked down the side of that dry dock and walked under the Ranger.. DAMN that was impressive, seeing nothing but 60,000 tons of steel above me..

Thanks for the memories..
