^^^ Obviously not this, but I have a nice signed print of this hanging in my office...

Ill start another. On what USN active duty warship was the last wooden or paneled room? (not the USS Constitution!)
On an un-related note, U.S. carriers in WW2 and up into the '60s had teak decks... Other carriers used steel decks. Lots of advantages in teak, including absorption of impact and no metal splinters. Faster to repair, too.

You are correct that I am referring to the captains quarters. It had a special decorator. It was my understanding that it was the last of its kind. I saw in in 1987 , and was told it was the last of its kind due to building code. Big Hint. The ship was also the last of kind with regard to power plant. It is also mentioned in a Jack Ryan novel...I thought all the carriers and 'big ships' that could be used as flag officers ships... had fancy wood-paneled admirals quarters? So wouldn't the Reagan and whatever the most recent carrier... have had wood-paneled rooms?

Ok. More hints.Ok I’ll start one.
During the war is SE Asia, an unlikely USAF crew shot down a Russian helo with an improvised weapon (not any kind of firearm, missle, bomb, etc.) Credit was given to a nearby A1 sky raider
What were they flying? What was the weapon?
And best of all, why didn’t they get credit for the undeniable air to air kill?

Chopper was an MI-8 over Laos. Cargo plane on a “Candlestick” mission
And/or that there is the personal training Call Of Duty edition, designed for 'on the ground' practice and improvement, right? The 'legit'er' version eleventy-point-nine-point-nine.Raven RQ 11 UAV controllers?
So I'll throw one out.
Why are "tanks" called tanks? Why is the nomenclature for tank parts the way it is (ie, why do they call 'em "hatches" instead of doors?)
I thought all the carriers and 'big ships' that could be used as flag officers ships... had fancy wood-paneled admirals quarters? So wouldn't the Reagan and whatever the most recent carrier... have had wood-paneled rooms?
No Barney, I haven't got a clue. And I tried to search it using Ixquick (Classic.Startpage.com) and got absolutely no-where. So, somebody intelligenter will have to chime in here about that one.Emu's and cheap tricks??
When they were making prototypes at, I believe, Woolrich Arsenal, they were trying to disguise them by claiming that they were water bowsers. So they called them 'tanks.'

Barney, is that the Ryan L-17B Navion?
