Unofficial Nicknames

cyrusdvirus · 2010-04-20 09:13:30

We all know that ships are given nicknames, officially or unofficially. USS Theodore Roosevelt is the The Big Stick, the Stennis is nicknamed Johnnie Reb etc. What about unofficial nicknames? I think the coolest one i've heard recently is for USS Providence.... The Big Dog of The Red Sea Wolf Pack. Anyone got any others?…
