USS Mullinnix DD-944

http://ussmullinnix.blogspot.com/

This blog is to share information about the last all gun ship in U.S. Naval History, the USS Mullinnix DD-944... The "Mighty Mux"! Gives me the opportunity to talk up my ship, perform a little marketing for the historical novel I'm writing, and publish any other sh-t I dream up. If you know me, my ship, or simply like to comment on unique blogs - let me hear from you! Cheers, Woody
