 Thanks!!!
Go ahead and make me feel really old why don't you  ? I was at the reenactment of the first battle of Bull Run in 1961 at the age of 14 watching those poor guys in 102 degree heat do their thing. While I was entranced with all the little blue and gray ants running around in the distance, my sister was playing with the NPS Ranger's horses.
We still have motion picture film (16MM) from that day.

I've seen these sweat soaked heroes fight, in superheated air,to keep their ship alive and right, though no one knows they're there. And thus they'll fight for ages on, till warships sail no more,amid the boilers mighty heat and turbines hellish roar. So when you see a ship pull out, to meet a warlike foe, remember faintly if you can "the men who sail below"
