Wonderful. You know that there will be a lot of kvetching by conservatives

USS Daimler-Chrysler?

Will try to avoid taking part in any wars, but is much more comfortable
than others of its class.



Get real, how 'bout USS Acura? Faster and never breaks down, not to mention
better equipped for anything that may come up...

Strongly suspect there's no EDSEL on the ways, thank goodness. g


CORAL MARU's callsign was "Mustang" during the early 1970s.
