1000 thread giveaway

[TorzJohnson]

OK, I'm coming up on 1000 threads here pretty soon, and I want to give something to one of you bastids to celebrate. I've got a Kershaw Black Colt folder, model 1045 sitting in my little wooden chest that's feeling left out. It's about 15 years old and I've hardly ever carried it. Maybe one of you could give it a good home.

All you've gotta do to rescue this little Kershaw is be the first to answer my fiendishly difficult question. Somewhere in my nearly 1000 posts, I've mentioned the name of a ship I served on when I was in one of the 5 armed forces of the Unites States. What's that ship's name?

Hint: it was mentioned within this year, on this very forum.

Extra bonus if you can post a pic of her, to warm the cockles of my heart.

You were in the Coast Guard and served aboard the USCGC Dallas. Here's a link, does that count? http://www.uscg.mil/lantarea/cutter/dallas/

Holy smokes that was fast!

You are correct sir! E-mail me your address and I'll get it in the mail within the next week or so. I'll throw in the bonus even though it was a link, not a pic.

Here's a picture of the old girl for anybody who wondered what a High Endurance Cutter looks like.

Thanks Torz, that's cool. I haven't won anything in a while. Email on the way.

You're welcome - I've never won anything even though I enter all the time. Enjoy that little knife, it deserves to be used.
