What’s the only U.S. Navy ship NOT named for an American?

Why, the USS Winston S. Churchill, of course! Hit the link for it’s action today. AOL News – U.S. Navy Seizes Pirate Ship Off Somalia

The reason I know this interesting but useless bit of trivia, is because I got Brigid a "USS Winston S. Churchill" baseball cap a few years ago. When she wears a baseball cap (not very often) it’s either that one, or one with "Jamaica" imprinted on it.

  1. Tom,
    Why in the world would you buy her a masculine hat when you always coached in that Disney (specifically Goofey) hat?
    Seriously though, I’m very excited that everything has been going right on schedule. I was wondering about the platelets. I’ve been on antibiotics for a sinus infection and the center stated I need to wait 3 days after stopping the medication before I can donate. Will you still be accepting donations by the end of the week?
    The insignificant pain that a needle causes is nothing compared to some of these postings.
