Hi C, Good point, & I wish we all could look at others as children first and not define others…Read More by their specials needs, disabilities, mental illness, etc. Even adults are children... :) Thanks for your comment and compliments. We strive to cover the goodness in the world, indeed! :)

Ya Nancy, it's something they can take pride in. And we too can take pride in it also since this…Read More ship was a product of our massive war production during WWII, which was a main reason we won that war, and is what built our large and robust middle class afterwards by switching just some of it to civilian production.

In February,1952 I came aboard The USS Iowa in Long Beach fresh out of boot camp. Long Beach was…Read More our home port and had been since her recommissioning in August 1951. Long Beach remained our home port until we joined the Korean War in April 1952. In a way Long beach was an unusual home port. We were anchored out about three miles from land and there were no other ships around. Long Beach was a small town in those days and the people of Long Beach treated us well. The Pike was in its heyday and that is where we spent our liberties. When we returned from Korea in November 1952 our ships band struck up the tune "California Here I come" and it was a welcome song for the entire crew. I will ever be grateful to Long Beach for her generosity to the crew of the Iowa. Dale McKinnon, Timber, Oregon

Lol, tt...
Some say Queen Mary is drug slang for marijuana.
("Queen Mary, she's my…Read More friend. Yes I believe I'll go see her again.")
Why not house all city approved medical MJ dispensaries on one deck, another deck for temporarily lodging recreational users with minor afflictions and a doctor's note, a long-term care deck accommodating those with more serious pain, a hospice deck on which those sailing into their final sunset might find solace and compassion, and below all else could be housed James Cameron's massive ego, close proximity to which would automatically generate a metaphysical thrill ride called The Abyss.
