| #9 The first "Boxer" was actually a British ship that we 'acquired' in 1813 during a 'contest' with the first USS Enterprise. (sorry, being too PC) History Tidbits |

| #7 In the clearing stands a Boxer, and a fighter by his trade, and he carries the reminder, of every glove that cut him down, or hurt him so he cried out, In his anger and his rage, I am leaving, I am leaving, But the fighter stil remains get the idea, Boxer is a respectable fighting ship name. |

| #5 I am not disparaging by any means the crewmembers of the Boxer, but right now that name just doesn't sound reassuring. |

| #4 How strange - pictures of ships that actually seem to be the ships named in the captions. Does the MSM know you can actually do that? |

| #3 RJ- I think that's the radome for the Sparrow close-in defense system. The Boxer should have two sets - fore and aft. The Boxer should ALSO have about 1500 Marines on board... |

| #2 What's that dome behind the boat being lifted? I thought it was a phalanx, bt I see no gun barrels, kinda low for a radome. |
