Thank you for the link to all those activities, Bill.
Certainly building up a good picture of the embrionic US Navy.
It will help me when I introduce my American ships into my North African scenarios.
Rob.
My pleasure -- enjoy!Quote:

An interesting "duel" issue could be done with the HMS Shannon and the USS Chesapeake. Or an individual issue of the USS Essex, etc.Quote:

Ahh! First Barbary War! That would be great! Americans, Barbary corsairs and of course Swedes!
