@ishotthesherrif @supportthebomb @sugarbush69 @iamcharlie Getting ready to ambush a secret ISIS nest here in Libya with my frogman buddies… WHORA! wish us luck #letgodsortemout #ilovethesmellofISISinthemoring

@CWO:

Thanks for those two links HKL.  I agree that HMS Calypso would be a stretch as a present-day survivor, since she was burned to the waterline; “relic” would perhaps be a better characterization than “survivor”.

It’s too bad that the German WWI battlecruiser Goeben (later the Tukish warship Yavuz) didn’t get preserved.  She was in service until 1950 and in existence until the 1970s, when Turkey offered her for sale to West Germany.  West Germany turned down the offer, so she was sold for scrap in 1973.  Sad.

That is sad.

Japan, China and South Korea should all slice up North Korea and solve that problem.

Re: your comment  about the war not being  over: I forgot that too!
Thank you for the story about the “turtle ships” and their Nelson like Admiral’s demise.

@suprise:

I like Stalag 17 and think it should be in the top 10

Love “Stalag 17” top 10 probably for me. Not ‘the best’ though.

He might of been refering to our huge garrison in Germany.

Oh, ha stupid me. :grin: Just thought it was some sort of acronym I hadn’t heard about yet.
