Would be nice if it is Perry ship.     8)

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A team of divers say they've discovered the remains of the USS Revenge, a ship commanded by U.S. Navy hero Oliver Hazard Perry and wrecked off Rhode Island in 1811. Perry is known for defeating the British in the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie off the shores of Ohio, Michigan and Ontario in the War of 1812 and for the line "I have met the enemy and they are ours." His battle flag bore the phrase "Don't give up the ship," and to this day is a symbol of the Navy.

Perrysburg, Ohio (just a short drive from Toledo, NW corner) is justifiably proud of this native son. Now today --- if only we can say we have met the liberals, and they are ours! (All ahead, ramming speed....)
