This gallery is to promote my love for naval architecture.
I've updated the look of my page to a simpler text based format. By in large, all the photographs are my own, unless maked otherwise.
My focus is primarly battleships, though I do plan to have images from the ship I served on, USS Austin (LPD-4) My beloved hunk of junk.
I salute all sailors, solders and airmen past, present and future for your willingness to step into the caldron of fire,
to face tyranny, defend freedom and protect justice. God bless you all for a job well done. - Wright
I have never made but one prayer to God,
a very short one: "O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous."
And God granted it.
-- Voltaire
Leaders aren't born, they are made.
And they are made just like
anything else, through hard work.

LIBERTY
It is easy to take liberty for granted
when you have never had it taken from you.
- M. Grundler
Battle is the most magificent competition in which a human being can induldge.
It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base.
All men are afraid in battle, The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sence of duty.
Duty is the essence of manhood.
- George Patton
