Good post Spruence M and a great read. I've read parts of the Barb's feats before and never get tired or rereading them.

My condolences to Adm. Fluckey's family on his passing. He's a true hero back with the USS Barb and his crew. ~S!~

Thank you for thanking me. It's nice to know that it was appricated.

You guys ought to read "Thunder Below" written by the man himself. This was one hell of a skipper. What he accomplished AFTER receiving the MoH is amazing in itself.
