[Hallicrafters] OT USS Alabama

[Larry WA9VRH]

So is this picking fly specks out of pepper??  So it isn't the CURRENTLY 
commissioned ship. The CURRENTLY non-commissioned Alabama has real stories 
and battle scars.... Something the "NEW" Alabama can only hopefully attain 
some day... However for the rest of us we hope she never get's that 
chance....

The Alabama will in most peoples mind be the battleship that servered this 
country well commissioned or not!

The USS Alabama, as CURRENTLY commissioned, is an Ohio Class Nuclear
Submarine - FYI.

The battleship in Mobile Bay is NOT currently commissioned.
