Hey Sailor Steve, you're the one to know such a thing. Is that correct?

I'm not Sailor Steve but he and I were both on a DD Gearing class ( Mine is my sig. ). I was stationed mostly off Key West in the 50's on the USS Sarsfield EDD 837 and 50 to 100 miles off Fla. some times it would rain for a week straight then wham three weeks burning sunshine. I've heard from some of the ole salts aboard that they have seen longer periods of rough and nice weather when they were on patrols on the Sarsfield 3/4 years before near Japan about 1949/50.
So yes expect what you play as the Dev's pretty well hit the weather about right.
