It is fantastic to see since units are kept as museums in several countries of the world, have a bit of historical conscience, in my country we must request that they send things to the museums, otherwise they "get lost" or end in hands of private collectors

TIGREDELAIRE, Thanks for you comments. There are many US Navy ship museums in the US. Of course there are many other museums for the other services. In fact the US Army is having a museum constructed. Unfortunately because of various delays it won't be open until 2020.

John McCain served with the US Navy from 1954 to 1981. He retired as a Captain (O-6).



Senator John McCain poses with future graduates of the U.S. Army Basic Leader Course held on Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo, April 13. McCain, a Vietnam War veteran and political giant, passed away Aug. 25 "I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else’s,” said McCain. “I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency; for its faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again. I wasn't my own man anymore. I was my country’s." (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Adeline Witherspoon, 2nd Sustainment Brigade)
