In 1952, Capt. Royce Williams left USS ORISKANY to engage in the dogfight for which he won the #CMH. In 1952, SSUS made her maiden voyage. ORISKANY still holds the record as the world's largest artificial reef. 💡Let's honor both Capt. Williams and SSUS and keep it that way.

Our profile pic is a childhood photo of Leroy Alexanderson (1910–2004), the last captain of the SS United States (largest ocean liner ever built in the United States & fastest in history). Our banner shows the ship in recent times as she sat at the dock in Philly. Still a beauty!

The lawyer who filed the Coalition's case against Okaloosa County in the federal court in Pensacola has this to say about the etymology of a certain fairly obSCURE biological term. (But it's all Greek to me. —Editor)
James Michael Maloney@maloney_esq

Someone recently asked me if there's a word for "squirrel-like" that's comparable to such words as "bovine" and "canine." There is. It's "sciurine." Since the root seems to be a Greek phrase meaning "shadow-tail," I choose to pronounce it "SKEW-rhine" rather than "SHOE-rhine."

"...never stood a chance"? Q: If our loss was so foreseeable, why did the County wait until AFTER the suit was dismissed to make their sanctions motion? A: "...frankly, I did not want to look like a fool if Judge Rodgers denied the motion to dismiss..." See lines 23-24:

Today we are going to take a moment to respond to once again ”funnel talk”. Unfortunately several persons had simply declared SS United States unrepairable due to the removal of the funnels and radar mast. Thankfully history tells us this is completely nonsensical. The Queen Mary had her original funnels replaced when she was in the process of being restored in Long Beach. USS Midway has had tons of steel that was not salvageable removed during her preservation process, USS Constitution which was designated by Congress as a museum ship in the early 1900s and never had this designation removed is less than 20% original. And finally many ocean liners and other vessels had to have their entire bows replaced due to collisions with objects or other vessels such as the Stockholm after colliding with the Andrea Doria. And the USS Wisconsin also had her bow replaced.
