United States of America


 Boston. MAS  USA.

 This is a card that I recently came across amongst some souvenir cards that I had gotten during my vist to the The Boston National Historical Park   with a great mate who tok me there on a day out  to originally see the USS Constitution..  also this is a wonderful Naval and Nautical Museum at this same location.  This particular  ship is the USS Cassin Young ( DD 793 ).a World War II Destroyer and a survivor of many fierce battles in the western Pacific.. She is typical of the modern warships built at The  Charleston Navy Yard .. Thank you again Vinnie for this great day out . This was also a great visit to also go aboard The USS Constitution The Oldest fighting vessel in The US Navy.
   These are some pics of my visit to The USS Constitution  Naval Museum.
