Nice shot of a Clipper in Clipper Cove between Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands with SF in the background. Still waiting for a long convoluted question with a one word answer.

Q&A Did you get your fill of vegemite down under? What, in your opinion, are the five greatest efforts at naval damage control whether successful or not. IJN Musashi, USS Franklin and SMS Seydliz come to my mind. What say you?

Glad to hear the trip to Australia went well. This is a ship request and I apologize if you’ve already covered one of them. I recently became aware of last stand of the Edsall and if you haven’t covered it that would be a great ship to cover. And of course the Vestal is till one is love to see covered. Mostly because it is such an overlooked ship and I also live in Vestal NY. Thanks for everything.
