I removed all I could find and the offending users as well.
I have changed the sign up procedure so it is moderated by me.
Sorry for any porn that may have been posted. Hopefully it's under control now.

Thanks To Christopher McKay for his submission! Quoted from his email:
"the Pic was taken in Scotland across Loch Lomond in late 1993. I think it was October. On the last Cross Atlantic cruse. (we used to call them Mini Meds) we moved ammo from Scotland to Suta Bay Crete for 2 months."

New Web Server!
It's been a long time coming but I finally have the USS Suribachi Site on a new server. I was hosting it at the house and it was just too much work keeping everything running. So I've moved it to a commercial hosting site along with 6 other sites I take care of. Let me know if you notice any difference in speed. It should be much better.

Small update to the site, made better!
I've done a little hand coding on the site and changed the shipmates page so that it lists all of the guys/gals that have been on the ship along with thier rank/rate, division, year arrived, year departed, home town and state. It's a really ugly page until I get it integrated with the site but until then at least you can find your shipmates.
Use the links at the top to sort the list. That should help you find people that were onboard at the same time or that live close to you now! Just click on the Shipmates link on the left of the page to get the new list.
The page is now integrated with the rest of the site. You can click on the name of the shipmate and get his details page or you can click on the email to send him a message.

A neat Gallery feature
If you're looking at pictures in the photo gallery try clicking on the ICON that is 3rd from the left. When your mouse is over it the popup will display "slideshow".

All of the photos in that gallery will automatically be displayed one after the other.

Mount Suribachi
Battle of Iwo Jima, one of the most costly battles of the Pacific campaign of World War II, fought in February and March 1945 on the island of Iwo Jima. More than 6000 United States Marines lost their lives in capturing the island from the Japanese; Japanese losses were estimated at about 20,000. The conquest of the island provided American air units with the first base inside the Japanese inner-defense system from which to attack the heart of industrial Japan with medium bombers escorted by fighters. Before the actual invasion on February 19, the island was subjected to air and sea bombardment for three months. In spite of the preinvasion assault, some Japanese were still firmly entrenched in underground fortifications in the soft volcanic soil. The marines secured the island after a month of the most severe fighting in their history. Mount Suribachi, the highest point on the island and an important defense position, was captured on February 23. The campaign was officially declared ended on March 16.Steve JacobsenonWednesday 31 December 1969 - 19:00:31
