Hey Monterey, did you order your ship picture from George Bieda and Windjammer Arts? Looks like two I ordered. One of DD 568 USS Wren which was my dads ship and the other was of a friend of mine who was on the CVE 79 USS Ommaney Bay.

Wren was a fletcher class used in WWII and was in the movie "Operation Petticoat" with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis. If you watch the movie, the Wren is the destroyer dropping the depth charges onto the pink submarine. Ship was also used in a Magnum PI TV show titled "Operation Silent Night". Ship has three battle stars from WWII. Photo = http://www.domeisland.com/fletcherclass/568wren_01.html

Ommaney Bay was a smaller sized aircraft carrier sunk by Kamikazi on Jan 4th 1945. Photo & info. = http://navysite.de/cve/cve79.htm
