I like Ships too

When you board replicas of the Godspeed or the Susan Constant or the Santa Maria you will instantly realize that the people who sailed the originals were either crazy lunatics or extremely desperate.

If you ever get the chance to go on board her, I recommend it. Highly.

It would seem so. Desperate, at least. The ships were so small, and so primitive.

Russian container ship carrying fuel adrift off B.C. islands

"A Russian container ship carrying hundreds of tons of fuel was drifting without power in rough seas off British Columbia's northern coast Friday, a scenario a nearby First Nation community described as its "worst fear.""

One of the interesting facts I learned a couple of years ago when on the Mayflower II is the invention of the ship's wheel was not made until about 1700, so the sailors actually steering ships like the original Mayflower were below decks and couldn't see anything except the interior of the ship. They were manning the tiller, and taking steering orders that were shouted down to them from an upper deck.

We came to Canada in 1969 on the RMS Empress of England.

Took 7 days from Liverpool to Montreal in late April. I was 6. What a blast.

Could you name the ships and types?

Looks like 3 & 7 are the same, 5 & 6 are the same.

Other than identifying the aircraft carrier, I have no idea what the others are.

I was in the Army, which is a handicap for this kind of thing.

Who cares?

The Navy is just a subcontractor to the Army.

It's fairly obvious that I care, since I took the trouble to ask.

Interservice rivalry was kind of boring after the first couple of years. Too repetitive, stereotypical.

The closest ship is DDG-93, USS Chung-Hoon.

The second ship is CG-73, USS Port Royal.

The 4th one has "154" on it. How do you know what letters go in front of those?

USS Chung-Hoon (DDG-93) is an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyer.

USS Port Royal (CG-73) is a United States Navy Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser.
