Sir, - There is a great deal of heat being generated under certain collars, over the visit of the USS JFK, judging by the recent letters of Pat Lamasney, and Con Maxwell, Secretary of The Coalition Against Warship Visit (not Visits, so it must be a once off).
As a pacifist, I am not enamoured with the existence of warships, but the two gentlemen mentioned above, should ponder on the necessity of warships.
In short, Remember Pearl Harbour. Yours etc., Blackrock, Co. Dublin.
