Speaking of My Little Brother Crusader...
...crawling around the living room floor being Hornblower, he wants this. But I have to wait and see if Bill wants it first. If not, please send Crusader large amounts of cash in small denominations and make him weep with joy. (Actually, cry like a little girlieman, y'know?)

"Over the seas,
let's go men!
We're shovin' right off,
We're shovin' right off,
Again!"
"Nobody knows where or when.
We won't be home for years and years and then!!!!
We're shovin' right off for ho-ome,
Shovin' right off for ho-ome,
Shovin' right off for home a-gain!"

God rest his soul, I think my father is doing Homer's tongue-drop in Heaven right now. I'm surprised that an outfit like the Smithsonian or the Intrepid Sea-Air Museum doesn't try to get its hands on this.

Nightfly, if I remember correctly, the Air and Space Museum already has one very similar to it, although of an earier carrier. Bill, do you know which one?
