If you ever get the chance to visit Boston, you'll love visiting the Conny. What a amazing job they did of restoring her. =D> I was there about two years ago. What a feeling you get when you're standing on the deck. You can feel the history of this great vessel and its' past crews. The Museum is just loaded with all kinds of artifacts and old documents. I also realized just how tall I am (6'2"). If I had ever served onboard when she was in active service, I would have knock myself out silly. I don't know how those sailors lived in such tight quarters? And I thought we had it bad on the Kitty Hawk!
I'm glad the Navy is taking such good care of her.
