Comments: I tried to send a message from inside your home page, but I'm on a virtual T-1 service and it often won't allow messages to be sent directly. At any rate, I wanted to say what a great job you have done on the USS Gurke home page. Great history, including its time as a Greek Navy DD. Fifty years of service for a tin can is exceptional. You must have looked after it very well in its earlier years for it to have kept going that long.

We're planning to revise our home page and I want our people to look at how clear your material is. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
