To introduce myself (some will no doubt be shipmates of mine on other forums) ...

I am a lifelong civilian with very poor sea legs, but also a keen biographer of naval, military and air force types.

My only naval ancestor was my great-uncle, who attained the rank of Ensign in the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Navy - hence the avatar.

Trust I can be of some use over time. :)

Welcome to the forum William.
Wwe are sadly in need of posts in the Austro-Hungarian section so I hope you will be the catalyst for the solution to this problem.

Welcome to the forum, William.
I am very impressed with your avator, and would like to know what it is. The Austro-Hungarian naval ensign or the Austro-Hungarian flag perhaps. The other interest is the coastline of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the Baltic, North sea, the Med. as all navies need a coastline. (excluding the Swiss with the America's Cup!)

Hi gents..I'm Big Daddy Popeye. Some of you may know me from other forums. I served with the USN for 20 years. All on carriers and Naval Air Stations.

Most anything you want to know about carriers or the USN I can find out or have an answer for you!

Happy to have found this forum:)

Welcome popeye! It's good having another American on-board!

We look forward to lots on the USN.

Perhaps for starters you could read the USS Barnes thread? The lady needs help.
