If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.

USS Des Moines on death row. If you look around there are the remains of Spruance and Perry class ships nearby.

Not quite as sad.

Look here: 36�57'27.18"N, 76�19'46.29"W

Try 39�55'6.28"N, 75� 8'11.50"W, from it is also visible 39�56'22.16"N, 75� 7'59.14"W, 39�56'36.73"N, 75� 8'27.65"W.

An related item of interest is at 38� 4'4.41"N, 122� 5'53.01"W. Her sister is at 21�21'43.19"N, 157�57'13.38"W.

I'm surprised no one's hit 47�33'9.05"N 122�39'16.30"W, but maybe that's too obvious.

I downloaded, and have spent a couple of hours running around looking at all my childhood haunts in Okinawa, Kincheloe AFB in Mich. Hampton, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and many other places I have lived or visited!

quite a bit of fun!

Worth the massive effort Kenny, even for a Wooster U student!

for your information, it is THE College of Wooster.


As a side note, i used to have google earth. Got rid of it because after a while i didn't use it, so it was a waste of space. plus my area hasn't been updated since they made it, so everything is all blurry and stuff.

I believe they are Knox and Leahy/Belknap class. Only three Perrys have been scrapped (Aubrey Fitch, OH Perry, and Stark) all at Metro Machine in Philly. I believe Metro Machine is now bankrupt.
