You Sank My Battleship!

ElChevelle · 19th June 2004, 21:11

I'm trying to locate where they sunk the ship I served on when I was in the Navy.
Anyone know a site where I can enter the longitude and latitude and find out roughly where she's at?

I know your down there!

They sank, or you sank?

ElChevelle · 19th June 2004, 21:28

I can't even sink a fart.

Put you can sink your plunger right

I could maybe sink a rubber ducky with my torpedo

Wherever they sank her, it's freekin' deep:

i'd name my boat "The Mr Bomaunt"

I WANT THE MR BOMAUNT!

ElChevelle · 20th June 2004, 13:27

I googled all over the place but couldn't find a picture I used to have on my HD. It was a boat with babes aboard and the name on the back was "Bongs N Thongs"

I did find a cool name for a boat though:
(painted upside down) "Don't Panic!"
