Hello Guest! There's a lot to look over, so sit back with a cup of coffee, relax and browse around. We have a great group of ship and boat modelers here, both newbies and old salts, from all over the world. Our goal here is to help each other, without criticism or rebuke. Both newbies and old salts alike can learn from each other. No one has all the answers. Our most basic rule is simple, respect for your fellow members and their opinions. And don't take yourself too seriously! wirewolf (John, AKA - Cap), Forum Administrator

Yes I am an ex Navy man and proud to say so. The Navy showed me what it takes to be a man. Also I like to say my hats off to all you that were still are. Let me add this, I extend my hand out to all others in the Forum from a new member.

Nope. Not ex-Navy, nor current.

Did you guys watch the PBS special titles "Carrier"? If so, and if you have Carrier experience, what did you think of it?
