I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.
Okay, who here knows anything about this photo? The Navy will offer a free colonoscopy to the first person who correctly identifies this picture and when it was taken.

Congratulations!!! We have a winner!! Yes, the ship is in fact the USS ALTAIR.
To collect your FREE COLONSCOPY just report to RTC GLAKES this coming July while we're there during the reunion, enter the Recruit Medical Building (use the Recruit Trainee entrance please) and simply pulldown your pants, bend over, spread your cheeks and announce loudly that "You're here to collect your prize"
...I'm sure they'll know what you're talking about.
