Off to 'alifax!

[K62]

I'm leaving for Halifax tomorrow morning and sailing out Friday morning. See you all in about 3-4 weeks!

 

[Slim Pickens]

Give my regards to the Dome! Have Fun!

 

[Professur]

What boat?

 

[K62]

ahhh the good ol' Dirty Dome.


Prof, I have no idea yet. May find out tonight when I get my paperwork, might not find out until tomorrow.

 

[Leslie]

Have a good trip (voyage?) to wherever!

 

[Professur]

Have a good trip (voyage?) to wherever!

The word you're looking for is cruise.

 

[Leslie]

I'm sure he has to work some of the time. Taping the boat back together and whatnot.

 

[woodman19_99]

Wait, are you one of those crazy crab fishermen?

 

[K62]

Yarr! We fish with 50 cal and 40mm gunfire!

And sometimes we even use the 57mm for the big fish..

 

[woodman19_99]

Alright smartass... how the hell was I supposed to know that you were on the Canadian swim team?

 

[Professur]

And sometimes we even use the 57mm for the big fish..

Whenever I see guns like that, I always think back to the monsters they had on ships like HMS Hood. Flaming little peashooters they've got now.

 

[K62]

Oh I know, eh?

It's something when our 40mm fires. I CAN'T imagine seeing (speaking of the mighty 'ood) an 15" 8 gun broadside.

Or, how about the 18"ers on the IJN Yamato! Wow.

 

[K62]

Alright smartass... how the hell was I supposed to know that you were on the Canadian swim team?

Sorry bud, I didn't mean that to come out as it sounded. I was joking around more than being a sarcastic ass. Not that I'm not an ass.... but you know.

take care bud.

 

[Slim Pickens]

I used to hear stories from some of the older vets about firing broadsides during Desert Storm...had buddies that served on the USS Wisconsin, Missouri, and New Jersey, all battleships

 

[K62]

Ahh yeah. They still have a few of the Iowa's left as museums, don't they? I would love to get a tour of one of them !

 

[K62]

What class did you sail on, Slim?

 

[tonksy]

His second ship (USS Inchon) was an LPH converted to an MCS. I forget what the La Salle was.

 

[Slim Pickens]

LaSalle was an LPD (landing platform-dock) converted to an AGF (flagship)

 

[Nixy]

*wants to go on a boat*

If I fly into Halifax can I stow away K62??

Don't need the big 15 or 16 inchers anymore what with missle technology, the three and five inch guns are used for self defence..
