The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Life ring says CG-52, which would be USS Bunker Hill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Bunker_Hill_(CG-52) Interesting, they seem to have painted over or 'shopped out the ship's name, but not the hull number, which takes only a couple seconds to look up. Or maybe the stenciled name just wore off.
