Ship's History
John Bassolino has passed along a link to the history of USS Benjamin Stoddert. The address is http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/b5/benjamin_stoddert.htm. It's interesting reading and covers basic events through her whole career. However, Herm Chambers has pointed out that there are many factual errors in this history.... Dick Kint is credited with being our first Skipper, when that title really belongs to Walter Meginnis! If anyone can spot any other errors, please post them here. If anyone can fill in gaps, or add detail, please post it here. If anyone has a good Sea Story to go along with these events (if I'm in it, the story will be denied), please post it here! |

Re: Ship's History
I do not know if it is just me and my lack of computer knowledge, but I have not been able to access this web-site. I have tried to copy and paste, and type the address in the address bar. Maybe someone has an answer? Thanks, Leo |

Re: Ship's History
Leo, I just tried cutting and pasting the address, and it does work. Maybe you're leaving the "period" after "htm". It should not be there. I hope this solves your problem. Lou |

Re: Ship's History
Thanks Lou. Leaving the period off the end made the difference. |

Re: Ship's History
