    A different time

    I grew up in Quincy, Mass and can remember the USS Long Beach (CGN-9), being built at the Fore River ship yard in the 60's. As a teenager I can remember watching that ship come by the beach and thinking how grand she looked. That yard built the Wasp before WWII and a lot of other fighting vessels before and after the war as well.

    The shipyard has been closed now for at least 20 years, all those jobs are gone  Most of the guys i grew up with finished high school and went into the military, some of them never came back. That was a different time and it's one I miss, most people were willing to put their lives on the line for this country.

    Surely an engineering marvel

    Walking through those boats is awesome. The name thing is a bit odd to me. When do we get the Richard Nixon:)?
