There were two thousand, seven hundred and ten of those ships built.  Utterly amazing but incredible to think that these were…

It makes me wonder if there are any Liberty Ships still around in service. You want to talk about staggering manufacturing scale, one of these things were built every 5 days.

Serving, and sinking. They go down all too often.

To be honest most currently flying Spitfires are like the legendary yardbrush that’s had three new heads and two new handles.

Don’t forget these:

Hold my beer.

It’s bullshit that the HMS Victory counts as commissioned even though it sits in dry dock, while the USS Constitution actually sails.

So many Navy's use captured German sail ships as training ships
