Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.

Do you wonder if the FBI might come looking for you for having secret classified material?

A film was made of the disposal of HMS Vanguard. As it was the last battleship of the Royal Navy, it should have been preserved but who would have funded it? Not much spare money about in those days.

If the FBI shows up, I'll just tell them that I bought it at Joe Biden's garage sale......
Pretty sure none of those ship are still in service, maybe a few museum pieces.
The woman I bought it from said her husband bought it at a garage sale years ago, he has since passed.
We got to talking and her husband in 1969 was a combat medic with the 9th Div., but she couldn't remember
what unit he was with. Last name Anderson and I already forgot his first name.
