They test those things out on the bay of Green Bay. They're fast for their size and have a shallow draft. Two summer's ago the wake from one did some damaged to boats anchored on Chambers Island. Here's some video (not very good) but shows the event. Fast forward to about 1:05 to see the full effect from one of these ships underway.

I was stationed with ACU 1 over 20 years ago. This is nothing new. There is a defense contractor building small boats in the Greenbay area. Nothing new. The good news is I dodged a Job in Gary and working a job in Bir Ridge this week. They sure do like their adult book stores and fire works over in 219 country? Not sure why they are on every corner? 219ers must like to be well read with bright colorful lights?

Funny I think that about the adult stores every time I go through Wisconsin and they're always in the middle of nowhere. If you're seeing a bunch of them in 219 area you must be in Gary...

That's the only one out that way. Isn't it?
In Wisconsin it seems like every few exist.
Maybe not, maybe they just stick out because nothing else is there... That's the way the Lowell one use to be, but that interchange is being built up more and more.
