      Hi Drachinifel!
      My Grandfather is a U.S Navy veteran who served aboard the USS Galveston (CLG 3) during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
      He is turning 80 this year and I want to do something special for his birthday.
      I know he watches your videos so could you, during a drydock episode, give a quick run through of the USS Galveston including its: specifications, history, and how it was converted into a guided missile cruiser.
      (My Grandfather’s name is Al by the way.)

Especially since Drachnifel had already done one fictional ship for the holiday. To the point that, upon hearing the niftier version of Drach's music, and his voice, I still had to check to find out this was on Drachnifel's channel, rather than a crossover.

See Kipling, see Fawcett and Hooper and if you need help contact me and my mate Nick J may help. His grandfather was my Grand Dad's "boss" (and the rest of the fleet for that matter) that night. The night action showed the of bravery of the Royal Navy that Nelson would have been proud of.
