Am I the only one who find turning 3000 people's graves into a ship a bit sickening?

Great looking ship.

@ChuckR - The fact that Lockmart builds some of the systems for this ship makes my NY heart proud, and does make me smile - twice.

Hah,
Come to find out, LM now owns what was Sperry-Univac, my fave...

Also came across this, Quint H. being my former 'boss', and friend...
Milestones

I was trying to find a pic of the AN/UYK-7 'console', to check 'Breakpoint' switches, etc...

So, this now makes my NY heart proud, and makes me smile, thrice !

chuckr,

The Dallas was an attack sub. Never got aboard one though my oldest son was on the Los Angles (an attack sub). Did get a chance to go aboard a "Ohio" class sub, and must say I was impress with the size, and the scope of its mission. :)

No, you are not alone, especially considering it is a warship that has been built.

That was a brilliant film Chuck you definitely don't want to be claustrophobic though if you want a career in submarines

Actually, yes it does. More Brits died in 9/11 than in 7/7. And since we were dragged into two wars because of 9/11, out opinions do matter.

Not starting a flamewar, just saying.

Actually, it doesnt, the attack was on American soil, no one "dragged" you into anything , and no, your opinion does not matter, you have no standing in this AT ALL.

Just saying.
