I was wondering what the other 16 ships in the contest were and looked them up.
The Historical Naval Ships Association represents 108 historic ships in 12 countries around the world.
5. USS New Jersey in Camden, New Jersey
6. USS Yorktown and USS Laffey in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.
7. USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, Texas
8. USS Alabama and USS Drum in Mobile, Alabama
9. USS Massachusetts, USS Lionfish and USS Joseph Kennedy, Jr. in Fall River, Massachusetts
10. USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
