I have added a little "Easter Egg" to the blog title picture. If interested, here is more information about the ill-fated ship in the photograph. The final, violent end is here.

Thanks for the update, I never had figured out which one it was (too lazy)... :-)
ReplyDelete"painting of the USS Arkansas" Um, I haven't been able to click on anything to see it. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteThe info on the Alabama was...depressing. I know it's just a ship but, still, to be cut up for scrap.
You write "warfair"; do you mean "warfare", or is this a play on words?
Thanks for your writing. Stay safe.
NFO, without knowing at least a little about the picture to begin with, it would be hard to track. (Unless you've seen enough WP explosions to recognize it.)

I do agree it's depressing, even if I may reluctantly also agree that it might have been necessary.
I wish I could say I was being clever with the subtitle, but no such luck. Thanks for catching that. I'll keep my head down. Heard we had a suicide bomber at the gate this week...
