Thanks for the salute

Do you know the names of the ships that will be there?

I think USS Chosin in the only US warship.

Yep, Chosin is the only USN ship listed. I've been told the Russians aren't coming, even though the Varyag is listed (they sold that to the Chinese about 5 years ago). Plenty of ships will be at buoys around the harbour, quite a few at Waterhen and Darling Harbour/White Bay area, plus a number at GI.

Yes, sorry :oops:

Wayne, bum steer, from the :type:

list of participating warships it looks like we only
warrant one US Warrie and it is indeed, USS Chosin :salute1:

CG-65 (shown below...)

She looks like a bad ship, can kick butt and take names
