    Worth Mentioning that there should be a huge crowd of relatives at this,as the most common name in the Bantry area is Patrick O Sullivan...

      Apologies for the quality,here she is at anchor off bere island(not far from Fort Berehaven). One of the peacocks was there in company with her for security I assume,as well as a number of ferries and other vessels. Also in Castletownbere was a french Fisheries Protection vessel,"Sterne"

                        Ah well another missed opportunity. When is the next ship due? Do they ever berth in the Port of Cork in the city. If so do they do tours and the likes

                              Peace group to picket US warship

                              The Irish Independent
                              19-May-2004
                              ****************************
                              PROTESTERS will today picket the East Link Bridge as a demonstration against the docking of a US warship in Dublin port. The event is being organised as a message to the Government that they must demand the immediate removal of the ship from Irish waters.

                              Richard Boyd Barret, of the Irish Anti-War Movement, stressed that the organisation would be conducting a peaceful protest, without obstruction to traffic.

                              "We're asking passing motorists to honk their car horns in support," he said.

                              The demonstration is due to begin at 6pm.

                              The USS La Salle, the flagship of the US Navy Sixth Fleet, docked at Alexandra Basin yesterday on a goodwill visit, having previously served off the coast of Liberia and in the Persian Gulf.

                              Its arrival has been criticised by the Irish Anti-War Movement, who described it as "a PR exercise by the US government in advance of President Bush's visit in June".

                              The IAWM maintains that Ireland has become a major supporter of America's Iraqi operations, by allowing US soldiers to land at Shannon airport.

                              It urged the public to join its demonstration in protest against "horrific revelations about the practice of torture which has been inflicted on Iraqi prisoners".

                                USS La Salle (AGF-3)

                                I expect they wont get within shouting distance of it.
