I wonder if the Ghost Hunters have investigated yet, if not, they should. Heck, they did our library. *VBG*<br /><br />Thank you so much for leaving such an interesting and fascinating comment! I enjoyed reading it. Have a great summer 2010!!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573730655117969888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12924401.post-43680908199528642972010-06-10T04:45:36.191-04:002010-06-10T04:45:36.191-04:00I stayed overnight on this ship when i was about 8...I stayed overnight on this ship when i was about 8 years old. I went with my Cub Scout group at the time. Apparently the Battleship is haunted, seeing as late at night, between 12 and 3 AM, we all heard a continuous banging noise coming from afar, and some went to investigate and found nothing but a large pipe from which the noise was resonating. The pipe only came halfway down to the floor where it was open at the end, so nothing could have been inside of it as it was completely hollow. It sounded as if someone was hitting it with a wrench. I guess i'll never know, I've heard similar stories from people who have stayed there, but nobody seems to be able to figure it out.DestroyerDivinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245370398079253769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12924401.post-33617027054137481712008-10-31T14:46:00.000-04:002008-10-31T14:46:00.000-04:00Hi Robert!Wow, you've slept in those quarters?

I mean, it would make me a bit paranoid to be that enclosed...so you are obviously a much better adjusted person than I am. <BR/>*grin*<BR/>I'm glad you stopped by. <BR/>Thanks for the perspective. <BR/>:-)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573730655117969888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12924401.post-8704984409650626452008-10-31T02:11:00.000-04:002008-10-31T02:11:00.000-04:00The quarters on an Ohio class submarine aren't cra...The quarters on an Ohio class submarine aren't cramped.

This helps keep it fresh and alive.<BR/><BR/>And you're right, war depicted in movies is no where near the reality of the emotions and experiences of those who've been there. It's right to remember that as well. <BR/><BR/>Happy 4th of July to you!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573730655117969888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12924401.post-40572441391230571712008-06-30T20:32:00.000-04:002008-06-30T20:32:00.000-04:00Buy change I saw your blog about the USS Massachus...Buy change I saw your blog about the USS Massachusetts and your interaction with the Vietnam vet. It was touching. I've visited the battleship numerous times, and I try to imagine what it would have been like to be aboard at Casablanca or the Pacific. It emphasizes the truism that unless you've been there, you can't truly understand war.Abram Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123627535207814777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12924401.post-84595823016470539512007-05-30T21:58:00.000-04:002007-05-30T21:58:00.000-04:00Ah!

It's hard to believe that you then add personel to these ships. <BR/>As Chris is a veteran, we know the cost many pay. He never saw war, but his Uncles did. As did many of mine. The price they pay for our freedom, are parts of their soul. I don't know how they live with that, pieces missing. But, I am ever thankful. What's the saying? "freedom isn't free".Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.com
