btw, I think that Churchill is the only person who has even been made an honorary citizen of the United States. If I'm wrong on this, I'm sure that people will leap to correct me (as seems to be so often the case both in my family life and on various forums).

HA! Did have, but she's no longer a teenager. Your point, though, is well taken.
... and you should have seen the "corrections" I received when I suggested that it was OK to remove the side plate on a S&W revolver and lubricate the innerds.

I got a 15 yo She's not too bad though cause I've managed to outsmart her once or twice. LOL!
As far as the "corrections" I can imagine the whole scene. I don't even want to think about it cause I'll only get ticked off,,,again...
Just suffice it to say we're not ALL like that around here, but there's a few.
Haven't heard back from the Master Chief yet. Hmmmm...
OH! I almost forgot! I was just watching "Cannons" on Marvelous Machines and they mentioned the Churchill! Seems she's the only ship in the fleet with some new 5" system that launches a guided projectile 75 miles? Must be rocket assist? Anybody know about this. I forget the acronym.

Funny, I too saw that story on the USS Churchill - here we are talking about her (the ship) and the same night there's a story on her new gun. Not sure how it operates though but it's got a greatly improved range.
Seeing that story is what's called a '24-hour coincidence' - we're talking about the Churchill and within 24 hours, it comes up again in a totally unrelated context. Watch out for these, they happen all the time and it's strange.
Never had any experience with deck guns, they were taken off the boats I was on before I got to them.

and I've got 6 grand-daughters...when my kids complain about raising them, I smile and wish them luck, and say "Been there, done that."
