[Rockin Robbins]

Just finished the cruise, bow crew had a field day and we took some damage but had to let the deck gun bag the last one. Freighters equipped with machine guns only. Still not good for human flesh. Here's the report. I'm too tired to evaluate it, I'll do that after I recharge my batteries.
