With the anniversary of Pearl Harbor tomorrow I've been reading about many of the ships there such as the USS Nevada which served in WWI, Pearl Harbor, D-Day and the Pacific. It got me thinking about all the ships our Navy has had and the impression many of them had on history. Lots of good nominations and many with merit. Some have just been around forever and others are just plain badass.
These were the first ones that jumped out at me:
- USS Arizona
- USS Nevada
- USS Enterprise
- USS Constitution
- USS Monitor
What are your top 3?

SSG Carlos Madden I have been to Hawaii twice when we landed to refuel on the way to and on the way back from Vietnam. I want to go to Hawaii to see the USS Arizona which has a special place in my heart. I would add USS New Jersey, USS Yorktown and USS Hornet to the list

I don't think so, SSG Carlos Madden. I looked at many images of the memorial just now, and they show the flag raised all the way to the truck of the flagpole. I don't remember why the flag was at half mast that day either.

Just a cool piece of trivia. THe flag pole is attached to the spot where the flag would have flown on the Arizona.

Sgt (Join to see) - Yeah. I found that out when my wife and i went to Pearl Harbor during our 30th anniversary. I also got to tour the Missouri, which was cool, since I am from Missouri originally.

But honestly, I would have to throw my vote to the Constitution, as it is still in Active Naval Service after all these years.
