Happy Birthday, Winnie!


Today is Winston Churchill's 130th birthday!

I wonder what they're doing aboard his namesake today?

USS WINSTON S. CHURCHILL (DDG-81) is the third ship in the OSCAR AUSTIN - class but also the 31st ARLEIGH BURKE class guided missile destroyer.

The ship is the fourth US warship named after an Englishman. As a courtesy to the ship's namesake country, a member of the Royal Navy is assigned to the ship's crew at all times.

Pic and text stolen from this site which has great information on the ship and the great man himself.
