named for the five Sullivan brothers who perished when their ship was sunk in WWII. It's the only Navy vessel to be named for more than one person. There's a new Sullivans in the Navy fleet right now.

It's at the Buffalo Naval and Military Park. It's a pretty cool place if you like that sort of stuff.

I was going to take a ride to Buffalo this weekend to see how it's going there, but the weather is absolutely horrible today and doesn't look good for the entire weekend.

I donated $100 via their website. I figure they could use the money right now to get The Sullivans shipshape. It's a piece of history we shouldn't lose.
