Sorry guys kinnda"dropped the ball" on this one. From what I understand there were two naval vessels in town this weekend for the Army/Navy game.
The USS The Sullivans- DDG-68, and USS McFaul- DDG-74 were both here.
Usually I will see them leaving Philly however they must have gotten underway late last night or very early this morning. I will try to catch some images of them if they are still in the process of getting underway.

I think there was a picture of McFaul and New Jersey on navy.mil

Figured I could not post one and not the other especially because of the name of this destroyer DDG-68 "The Sullivans". What a sacrifice that family made in WWII loosing 5 sons after the cruiser Juneau was sunk at Guadacanal 1942.

Lemme know.

You can bring the chick. I have a nice big sofa for the two of you to sleeep on while you're here. Just bring spending money, and some $ for food.

Drink, housing, and smoke is on me.

I have no doubt of that.

What I DO wonder about is if you're going to take a hacksaw to one side of the couch as a practical joke on a certain chick
