Dive into a world of creativity!
I had a 25 year career in the USN. I spent most of my time with the USMC as a Hospital Corpsman. Iβm a full bred gravel agitator. I thank the Marines for helping me become a man and to understand sacrifice for my brothers and sisters.

I built this thing on my MacBook and i'm planning to replicate this on my gaming PC.
So what I built is the Essex Class Aircraft Carrier USS Interpid (CV-11) and I planned to build another one (name hasn't been chosen) with the SCB-125 modifications that allowed the ships to launch and handle jets.
And what's amazing is that once the WW2 version is complete, I'm gonna add the modifications that were added to the SCB-125 modernization.
I've already replicated my USS Nimitz (CVN-68) to my gaming PC as the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) and the shipbuilding was a partial success.
So good luck to me I guess.

June 19, 1864 Battle of Cherbourg France. The CSS Alabama was sunk by the USS Kearsarge. But not without a fight. This shot is still embedded in the side of the Kearsarge today at the Navy Yard. Both the quality of the powder and the coal were thought to have played a part in the Alabamaβs loss. The British yacht the Deerhound rescued many in the crew including Captain Semmes. Unfortunately David White a slave from Delaware, who had been freed by Captain Semmes, from a Yankee ship, drowned that day. He is forever immortalized in the sea.
Amazing ironclads! And guns from the Navy Yard! Zoom in for details of each gun
