Wow, I really need to get my eyes checked. I initially read the title of this as, "Frolicking Aboard Bonhomme Richard". I was briefly entertained by the mental image of people skipping about topside...bwahaha!! Nice.

My son is a marine aboard the BHR. This was some news I missed. Communication has been cut off since the end of Oct so I am always happy to hear anything!
