I want to say that maybe 2 of them are the USS Yorktown and USS Lincoln. I'm not sure but I remember seeing the one dock back close to the first part of the war and watching President Bush welcoming them home, know it brought tears to my eye. Not sure on other points but I'll do some searching.

Remember these are here to help your post count get a good boost but we do require minimum research effort on your part. As you see I did not participate this week due to real life issues that had to be taken care of. I had planned on posting my answers yesterday but I got tied up cleaning my girls room that Mrs. O has been after me to do for two weeks or better. By the time I got done I was schnackerd out I took my shower and hit the rack for some much deserved rest. The Mrs can be a real when she needs something done LOL. _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.
