Okay, it’s early, I just got up. But when I saw this thread:

> [@What sort of warship is this? (1963 pic)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-sort-of-warship-is-this-1963-pic/1031372):

> Is it called a [cruiser](https://www.flickr.com/photos/61170309@N08/13024107444/in/album-72157645481904456)? Are those Terriers? What other armament does it have?

My eyes and brain converted the title to _“What sort of worship is this?”_ And the _1963_ told me I would find some weird hippie, bead wearing, pot smoking ritual involving a deity that would appeal to the young people of 1963. (I turned 15 that year.)

No, it turned out not to be that at all. Have to confess I was a little bit disappointed.

Carry on. The day is young.
