The Battle Ship in Union Square - Compass Rose - 06-03-2015 I happened to come across this and thought you guys would find it as interesting as I did as I had never heard about it before. In 1917 the U.S. Navy built a full-size battleship in Union Square, New York to use as a recruitment and training center. http://mashable.com/2015/04/30/uss-recruit/ RE: The Battle Ship in Union Square - BigDuke66 - 06-09-2015 USS Toothpick would have been a better name.
