Sinking the USS Oriskany
Jun. 9th, 2006 11:42 am
The Oriskany, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, was sunk 24 miles off the coast of Pensacola, Fla., on May 17 to form an artificial reef.
The sinking of the 888-foot ship took 37 minutes.

A history of the Oriskany, in a page made by a vietnam vet and former crewmember.
It's badly coded and nearly unreadable, but that's to be expected from Navy guys. (Hi, Adam!)

JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
ROMEO: Damn skippy.
