LCS-2 Independence. It's the place where all my recycled beer cans have ended up.
The former SECNAV declared these "ships" as Frigates. Mainly because he was tired of hearing crews describe them a "Little Crappy Ships". Would you rather serve on a Cruiser, destroyer or frigate , or a Littoral Combat Ship? [X(][8|][:D]

According to the Duffle bog it wasn't an idle threat. In Top Gun 2 he plays a cashiered Navy officer who as a civilian charter flies rubber dogshit out of a factory in HK. :) Just sayin' . [:D]

Thanks for the clarification. The Buzz is intriguing, maybe the pilots' name or nickname.

"C-47 Skytrain "Buzz Buggy," 81st TCS, 436th TCG, USAAF"

I hope the documentary has better camera work.

I can be cruel can't I?

Anyway, a Pacific theatre warship which I'm fairly certain does not appear in the War in the Pacific scenarios. Three guesses for three names to choose from, of which two names do appear in the WitP scenarios, just on different ships.
