Happy New Year ... come on 2010 be nice to us

Why I can remember 1969 like it was just yesterday there I was on the sonar stack in the middle of the Med going real slow about 4 kts when I heard a strange hissing sound coming at us a little off the port bow, going real fast, much too fast to count the blades.

Hit the tape recorder to figure out what it was, put a man on the BQQ3 to analize it ... by golly gee that sounds like a Russian November class, but by that time it had already gone on towards it's westward journey to who knows where.

Conn/Sonar Lost contact in the baffles

It was easier that way
