Well I'll be getting my MM in the next couple weeks...hoping to finish a deal with a current board member. If he sells it to someone else in the next 3 days I'll be looking nation wide for another great deal.

I'm a big fan of vanity plates.

My current ones:

LASTSHO on my 1999 SHO...last year they made the SHO.
84 GT on my mint condition red Mustang GT.



Sooo...list your personalized plates.

Many in MN are already taken....but I've got a job that lets me check all MN plates available :D

Any suggestions for a silver MM? 7 spaces max.

QCKSLVR is taken
KWKSLVR is taken
MARADR is taken

I'm thinking:

Any other suggestions?

IX-21
The USS Constitution .............

"USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the US Navy, and the oldest warship afloat in the world. Constitution was commissioned in 1798, first putting to sea 23 July 1798. She was one of six frigates authorized by Congress in 1794. She is known as "Old Ironsides" because cannonballs were once seen to bounce off her hull.

Constitution was designated as an "unclassified" ship (IX) in 1920, being numbered IX 21 on 8 Dec 1941. The desigation IX 21 was withdrawn on 1 Sept 1975 because it tended to "demean and degrade" Constitution through association with the other IX craft, a group of barges, hulks, test vessels and other miscellaneous equipment. She is now identified as "ex-IX 21". Constitution was renamed Old Constitution 1 Dec 1917 to clear her original name for a new battlecruiser. The battlecruiser was cancelled and Constition was restored to her original name 4 July 1925. The ship has been berthed at Boston since 7 May 1934. Until 1997, no sails had been been fitted since that time."

bostonmarauder
06-15-2004, 03:18 PM

Nice question .... I am originally from Baltimore :up:

Answer is the USS Constellation. Many people get the two ships confused --- at least by name. My father was a fireman in the B.C.F.D. for 34 years and "hated" the Constellation when is was just tied up and rotting at Pier 6 back in the 60's and 70's. He went down there to put out fires all the time and threatened to take a bag of termites with him to work. All in jest though --- I think........ I miss the old man alot.... More on the USS Constellation below:

"The original Constellation was a frigate completed in 1797. She was one of the six frigates authorized in 1794; Constellation was one of the three 36-gun ships of the group (Constitution was one of the three 44-gun ships). Constellation was broken up in 1852 at Gosport (Norfolk), Virginia. In 1853-1855 a new 22-gun sloop-of-war was built at the same shipyard and given the name Constellation. As was common at the time, the new ship was built using funds appropriated for ship repair, rather than new-construction funds. To maintain the illusion that the ship had actually been "repaired" rather than built new, Navy records showed that the 1797 frigate had been "modified" to become the 1855 sloop-of-war. In reality the 1855 vessel was completely new, and was quite different from the 1797 vessel:


1797 1855
==== =====
Length 167 feet 179 feet
Spar Deck partial (~40% open) complete (100% decked over)
Gun Deck partially open completely closed
Guns 36+, spar and gun decks 22, on gun deck only
Stern square rounded
Bulwarks open (for gunports) solid

Over the years the ship came to be one of the few remaining sailing vessels in the Navy. Because of the falsified records from the 1850's, the Navy treated her as if she was a 1790's frigate. She was designated IX 20 at the same time Constitution received her designation (see above). In 1955 she was donated to a preservation group in Baltimore, Maryland, where the 1797 frigate had been built. The group "restored" her to look like the 1797 ship by removing part of the spar deck, cutting holes in her bulkwarks, and adding guns on the spar deck. These changes contributed to her deterioration by reducing the strength of the hull, adding significant weight, and letting water in to the interior of the ship. The group steadfastly maintained that Constellation was the original 1797 ship, despite much evidence to the contrary.
In 1991 a US Navy study conclusively proved that the ship was not the original 1797 vessel. This fact has now been accepted, and the vessel has been restored to her 1855 form."

They are both popular places for Sailors to re-enlist. The current USS Constellation (CV-64) was just approved to become a museum in San Diego last week. I spent a night aboard her a few years ago after flying off USS John C. Stennis at the end of her maiden voyage around the world, she's been rode hard and will get a good home in San Diego.
