My appologies, I have mispoken.  The U.S.S. Kitty Hawk is the oldest
*active* ship in the navy.  Leave it to some stubborn old bovine to go find
some nearly period boat to thorw in the face of a kitty making a point.

I said nothing of the Great White Fleet because it doesn't have anything to
do with the point I was making.  I was aware of it, as you can find some
more info on it quite quickly.  The heraldic description was for those who
don't know what it looks like, just trying to help out.

I don't remember the Iraqi aircraft carrier, can you give more specifics on
it?  Also, ask any Navy pilot and they will tell you the big difference
between them and our enemies is competence and training.  Humm, no, I won't
say anything there, that's just too easy.

I'll stand behind the Kitty Hawk for the rest of my days if they will have
me.  I don't make it a habit of standing behind cows (male or otherwise).  I
hope for your sake you don't smoke.
