Heh

Okay, nothing new on the picture front but amongst the pictures I came across something that rather amused me - a newspaper clipping from 1952, the height of the Korean War.

Well, actually the story that was clipped wasn't what amused me, that was juat a story about the Red Bluff High School boxing team, clipped by my Mom, I assume. What amused me was on the back, and I really wish it hadn't been clipped through the picture (the story was clipped exactly around, and so cut out much of the picture on the back.

Anyway, in the picture is a Navy ship (I don't know what type, not only is it partly obliterated, but I don't know my ships like Bill does). As near as I can tell from what's left of the picture, it's firing a broadside with all the starboard guns (hey, I know at least a little). But what's really amusing is what's left of the headline after clipping:

"Peace Ship"

I like that.

You know you should have scanned and posted the picture so that I could have wasted lots of time researching what ship and what it was doing... Sigh. Now I'll have to do the laundry instead. (And here I thought you were a true friend!) :oP
