Charleston, S.C. YORKTOWN


Hank and I headed for Patriots Point, a Naval and Maritime Museum. We boarded the Yorktown Aircraft Carrier, the Laffey destroyer,and the Ingham Coast Guard Cutter. What made it really special this weekend, there were Naval servicemen to show you around the ship in their uniforms, very cool!

On board the Yorktown, they had a museum about other Aircraft Carriers, the USS Block Island (Pappys' ship) was honored.
Over the Memorial Weekend, remember Dad, his Aircraft carrier was the only one that sunk in the Atlantic Ocean during WWII.

Have a great Holiday weekend.
