I've got a week all to myself. No family, no work, no house selling or buying. So I've taken the Battlewagon out on the open hiway and we're gonna check out some classic warships. On tap for today are the USS Yorktown, a WWII Essex class carrier (named after the one what was sunk at Midway) and the CSS Hunley. The Hunley was built by the Confederates during the Civil War and was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship. Unfortunately, it was lost with all hands while returning to its base and spent the next hundred-odd years on the bottom of Charleston Harbor. I'm curious to see how the restorations are going.
Tomorrow's agenda: the battleship North Carolina.
