USNS LEWIS B. Puller, MLP-3 ist nun in San Diego auf Erprobungsfahrt. http://www.nassco.com/news-center/galleries/usn-dc/mlp3-gallery.html
Der Marine-Infantrie General "Chesty" [fassbrüstig, nicht vollbusig :-D] Puller war ein und mein Held in Tat und Wort. Er schrieb einmal aus Korea nach Hause: "The mail service has been excellent out here, and in my opinion this is all that the Air Force has accomplished during the war." [Die Feldpost ist hier grossartig und m.M. nach, ist das alles was die Luftwaffer in diesem Krieg erfolgreich vollbrachte.]

moin,
An die Schlacht, die Anlaß zu einem großen Teil dieser "Sprüche" war, erinnert der Name einer Ticonderoga http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Chosin_%28CG-65%29 (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Chosin_%28CG-65%29)
Gruß, Urs
Ein paar Jahre nach dem Korea Krieg hatte ich eine Auswahl in 1958: Korea, Ryūkyū-Inseln oder Kaiserslautern. No problema! Zwei Jahre in K-Town, Ramstein, Heidelberg, Grafenwöhr usw. Ich war die zweite Generation meiner Familie in Grafenwöhr, nach dem 1.&2. Welkrieg und in Ami-Uniform :-D
PS: CHOSIN war einmal, aber Frieden gibt's noch immer nicht .... Und als Seniormit 80, glaube ich endlich, Frieden auf Erden gab's noch nie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chosin_Reservoir
Hi,
fünf Jahre später und eine Typ-Umbenennung wieder paar Infos zu diesem interessanten Fahrzeug:
--/>/> USS Lewis B. Puller (ESB-3) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Lewis_B._Puller_(ESB-3))
ZitatEffective 4 September 2015, U.S. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus officially announced the creation of a new ship designation, "E" for expeditionary support. Mobile Landing Platforms (MLPs) will be called Expeditionary Transfer Dock, or ESD; and the Afloat Forward Staging Base (AFSB) variant of the MLP will be called Expeditionary Mobile Base, or ESB. The new designation was pursuant to a memorandum sent to Secretary Mabus from Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert dated 31 August 2015.[17]

Ist schon cool ein Fahrzeug nach "Chesty" Puller zu benennen.
Einfach eine alte "Frontsau" des USMC.
Würde mit seiner Art zu führen im Friedensbetrieb sofort gefeuert worden sein...
