I've always been drawn to old Navy ships and make it a point to visit them when I travel. Like'm so much, if I won the lottery, I'd probably buy one and turn it into a home.
If you like U-Boats, heres one in Texas that could fancey you!

    Nice site!!

    Me and the kids watched U-571 lastnight. Then spent the rest of the evening researching the U-Boat wars on the internet!
    Lots of interesting reading, far more than any movie could offer!

    Never realized how many men where lost at sea till now!

    May they rest in peace and never be forgotten!!!!

    Of course I can play the piano, as long as it has pedals!

    DUCK- Yes I've been to the Lexington 3 times and will be going again. It's worth every penny and then some. You could play football inside. When in Corpus Christi- make sure to see the Museum next door to the Lexington- it's great too! Best times to go are in the winter!
