Now that the search/recovery is over we need to go back to the previous rules about the ship's activities because you never know who is monitoring these groups. As the old saying goes-loose lips sink ships. As Fitz, moms, wives, and girlfriends we can send messages to each other for that kind of info.

I heard about the earthquake and feel so bad for the people of Japan. Just when things are looking up another earthquake with tsunami warning. I read where the earthquake knocked out power to the nuclear reactors. Hopefully, soon Japan will get some relief.

It was either an old picture or they identified the wrong ship. Sometimes on google alert they will have pictures as far back as the early 2000s of the Fitzgerald.
