HEY tankerbuilder- I think I asked you before, you were the Ozbourne right? I meant to tell you that I was on the Chandler for a while, DD-717.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

 Hi everybody!  I just need to make this comment in passing. There is much being bantered about on certain companies products. There always is, but I have to make this one point and then I,ll go.If you have read my posts, you know, that I am a retired ship captain as well as a graduate design engineer(marine) Well, at times I crossed over to buildings and bridges too. (YOU went where the jobs were,and adjusted and increased your knowledge) I never have seen anything that was guided by a board or commitee come out as designed or should,ve been designed.The GEARING I was on ,Went through FRAM. Well, she didn,t look like the model in the yard hq.building foyer either, or the drawings of the proposed changes as printed in STARS andSTRIPES  newspaper. point made .      tankerbuilder
