We have that pressure area moving up from the south, hope that does not interrupt our USS BILLINGS event.
I hope you have good weather for the event and the front blows through and allows for a great day. No one will enjoy the ceremony sitting in the rain.

Any Navy Vets living in the Florida Panhandle or near Gulfport Mississippi want to attend a ship commissioning on October 5 2019? You can sign up for tickets at their website. https://cincinnaticommissioning.org/
It's a once in a life time thing to see.

How cool, congrats. This based on your donation, there was nothing on the LCS 15 that I'm aware of.
Some donation levels get a coin and others a ship picture, I donate at the lowest level $25.00 to $50.00. The USS INDIANAPOLIS is giving the $25.00 donations coins. I purchased the one for the USS BILLINGS. The coins are available still and they are very nice. https://ussbillingslcs15.org/product...ssioning-coin/ If you order a coin have it sent by 'Media Mail' its cheaper.
Soon I'll need a display case for the coins. By October I'll have a total of 5.

Cool beans, you'll have to clue me on the link.
Not to clutter, but here's a you tube on LCS 4, posted on this thread, someone else might be interested. If we're boring others that want trike posts, then Randy can step in and tell us.
On October 5 and 26 you'll be able to view the ceremony at this site: https://navylive.dodlive.mil/ they usually start at 10:00am.
Feel free to post about Navy ships here.

I got my membership into the Navy League a couple of days ago and I applied as an 'At Large' member and was placed in the North West region. I'll probably get newsletters and emails from groups in that area.

Whats the difference between a Boat vs A Ship.........

I guess it has to do with the size.
I did find this:
One thing that sets a ship apart from a boat is size. According the U.S. Naval Institute, a boat, generally speaking, is small enough to be carried aboard a larger vessel, and a vessel large enough to carry a smaller one is a ship. Or, as Steve says his Navy Lieutenant father put it to him, “You can put a boat on a ship, but you can’t put a ship on a boat.”

Size Matters, (when it comes to ship vs boat)...
Isn't it weird that in AMERICA, our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't???
