Due to the tremendous number of access's to this Web Page, I've had to lower the resolution of the pictures of the sinking of the Oriskany. I've had over 450,000 page hits [ at several megabytes of data transfer per hit ] in the first three days the page was up. This has been very expensive in bandwidth charges to me.
