Even looking at the item didn't tell me anything.

But this did:  http://xrl.us/IGEHPS

All I'll tell you right now is that Hackensack was built in 1952. Go read the rest.

Don't laugh, it's bigger and stronger than the Nina, the Pinta, or the Santa Maria.

Someone needs to get some photographs of the Hackensack

They're all naval ships.

Protective service professionals provide law enforcement and disaster assistance services. Some law enforcement specialists invest crimes committed at military bases and protect people incarcerated at military prisons. Firefighters are also employed by the military.

In the early 1990's, the Hackensack was docked immediately to the south of the Intrepid where it is located in Manhattan. I took photos of the tug next to the carrier which was like a goldfish floating next to a whale. I doubt if I still have the photos or the negatives.
