USS Winston S. Churchill DDG 81

[Simmer]

I found this photograph of the USS Winston S. Churchill along side of the HMS Cumberland in the English Channel. The Churchill is the only U.S. ship authorized to fly a foreign flag, the British Navy's Ensign. The Churchill also has a British officer stationed on the ship as part of the ship's company. The Cumberland is also flying the U.S. flag on her mast. I think this really shows how much we think of our British allies and makes me proud to wear the British flag on my left sleeve and my U.S. flag over my heart on my summer riding jacket

He shall pass into oblivion LONG before he can ever destroy the brotherhood we have with our closest cousins.

I say hip hip hooray for those ships though...that is so AWSOME!

Geoff, you can't tell Obama anything. He refuses to be confused with facts; his mind is already made up.

Dave, that is a cool shot. I was aware of the USS Winston S Churchill, but not of the HMS Columbia.
