hey CDR! DREAMED of you and this forum last night! can't recall everything of course, but vaguely aware of "commenters" arguing about something.....whilst the forum was represented as a moving train (?...... yeah, me too)
along came comments that I had made once long ago, somehow represented as physical entities shaped like geodesic structures in red and black frames, sitting on top of three passing rail cars. I wanted to add something, turned to ask you, you shook a finger "no" at me, which I took good naturedly as "you've said enough about that"
all I remember.
wild, neh? loved how my mind came up with some sort of being that was YOU.....fine lookin fellow, glasses, grey hair 'n all........
but, whew! musta been something I ate................knew that guacamole was gone "iffy".....
" On 18 December 1967, while operating off the coast of North Vietnam, the ship was straddled by 300 rounds of counter battery fire and received superficial shrapnel damage."
I don't know which cruiser that is, but the PAVN made a pretty good straddle with that salvo. I might think about making a turn and a speed change.

USS Bush CVN 77 just pulled into Norfolk this morning (Sunday).
That leaves Zero carriers in 2nd Fleet, 5th Fleet, and 6th Fleet right now.
Hope that CVN 78 can soon go to at least the 6th Fleet op area. Soon.
HAPPY Day-After-Earth Day !!
The US Navy spent a grunch of man-hours celebrating EARTH DAY.
Go to this link at WWW dot NAVY dot MIL and see.
Perhaps the Navy leaders might prevail on sailors spending as much time every year painting our warships ?
