Urge, that's great!
Being a dedicated history buff, both early American and naval, I can't imagine anyone turning down a chance to serve on Constitution, let alone command her, but I'm sure you dad had his reasons. It sounds like his service experience was exciting, to say the least; maybe a little more exciting than he would have liked.
I had no problem reading the original.
Thanks for sharing.
