Looking for road projects related to Little Rock I came upon this article detailing that the city was getting another ship named after it. Honestly, I thought the state would have a new ship before the capitol, but oh well! :bigass:

The Little Rock is a Freedom Class. It is to be commissioned on Dec. 9th, 2017, in Buffelo, New York. I would like to go, but I found this news kinda late. :pan:
There's an off topic forum.

Passes had "sold out" (all distributed) at least a week ago. The new vessel is up for observation in the days before commissioning, and will be christened right next to its namesake, at the Buffalo Naval and Military Park.
